Its sharp edge retention significantly reduces the need for frequent sharpening, even after prolonged use.

The knife is perfectly balanced, ensuring optimal control and maneuverability, essential for professional chefs and home cooks alike.

I'm pleased to say that this HOSHANHO 7 inch Nakiri knife has exceeded my expectations. The sharpness is excellent, making quick work of even the toughest vegetables and meat. Edge retention is also impressive, holding its edge well even after heavy use. The handle is a beautiful piece of rosewood, comfortable to hold and providing a secure grip. It's clear that attention was paid to detail when crafting this knife. That being said, I do have one minor issue - the black oxide finish on the blade isn't uniform, and it's starting to fade slightly. However, this doesn't detract from my overall satisfaction with the knife. If you're in the market for a high-quality Japanese-style nakiri, I'd definitely recommend giving the HOSHANHO 7 inch Nakiri a try. While not perfect, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses.

A beautiful knife. Perfect weight and comfortable to use and hold. Very very sharp!! Comes in a nice presentation box too. Excellent quality and a very good price. Quick delivery too

I use these knives for work and I love them. I work in a kitchen so they get a lot of use everyday and they so far have held up great. No signs of damage or rust and as there are three types of knives in the box they are very versatile. They come packaged with protective plastic and a tip protector for safety and they are incredibly sharp. They were slightly bigger than I expected, especially the handles - but now that I'm used to them I don't notice and they are really nice to work with. My only note would be - before I bought them I read all of the reviews and a few of them were unsure if they were full tang (when the blade has a piece of metal that runs down the middle of the handle for strength and balance) and I don't believe that they are. Whilst the weight of them is nice, there is a slight imbalance as the blade is clearly heavier than the handle. This hasn't been a problem so far but I do worry about the handle snapping off if I were to try and cut through something with a lot of resistance. When they first arrived I inspected them and one of them had a crack down the handle which I wasn't happy with so I exchanged it for a new one which was easy enough to do and the new one absolutely fine. Other than that they look great and they work great, I would purchase again

What a good quality knife. Really sharp. Cuts perfectly. Easily to handle because knife is not heavy. As i am a chef myself it’s really one of the best knives i used before. So far no disappointment. I can recommend this knife to everyone.

Soft steel that chipped all down the blade on first sharpening. Handle snapped first time crushing garlic. 2cm tang in the handle means that in no way, is this knife robust. Poor quality all round. Looks expensive, very cheap in reality. Infinitely better knives on the market for a similar price

My Nakiri knife has been so far great to use. It functions well as it say it does. Its very sharp and you can really feel the knife quality when you hold it and when you use it. The handle gives you a very comfortable grip to utilise its function. If you’re looking for a knife with great quality for your meat and vegetables for reasonable price. This is it. Highly recommended.

Fantastic knife. Stylish and has a nice feel to it, weight is also perfect. Arrived very very sharp and makes easy work of anything from meat to vegetables. Comes in a nice box for storage. Arrived quick. Great product and great seller

Schnelle Lieferung und gut verpackt. Das Messer gleitet mühelos durch Fischhaut und Fleischfasern, ohne zu reißen oder zu zerdrücken. Beim Filetieren von Fisch erzielt man damit wirklich perfekte, saubere Schnitte – ideal für feine Arbeiten und präzises Portionieren. Auch das Parieren von Fleisch funktioniert hervorragend. Sehnen, Fett und Knochen lassen sich problemlos und exakt entfernen, was vor allem bei größeren Fleischstücken wie Rinderfilet oder Lamm sehr hilfreich ist. Der Griff liegt extrem angenehm in der Hand. Das Messer ist gut ausbalanciert und ermöglicht eine sichere, kontrollierte Führung – auch bei längeren Arbeiten. Es fühlt sich wertig an und sieht dabei auch noch sehr edel aus. Ein echtes Profi-Werkzeug zum fairen Preis. Wer gerne mit frischem Fisch oder hochwertigen Fleischstücken arbeitet, wird mit diesem Filetiermesser viel Freude haben. Dieses Messer liefert durchweg professionelle Ergebnisse und ist aus meiner Küche nicht mehr wegzudenken. Scharf, präzise und handlich – klare Kaufempfehlung!

I really like my Shun Santoku, so I wanted to try a Kirsituke chef knife next. It looked like it would be a versatile slicing knife. I then went online to read about this type of knife and was told differently. I was told that this is a specialty knife only good for certain things like slicing sushi and intricate vegetable work. I was also told that this type of knife is only used by the Head- master chef who specializes in Japanese cuisine. As if it's some type of dangerous weapon that you have to be specially trained for. That's when i started taking a closer look at this item from Hoshanho. This knife from what i could see looked like it had a slight curve on the belly instead of just a straight edge as with some other Kiritsuke knives. It was also a little longer than the more common 7 to 8-inch models you see. On top of that it was on sale for $37.99 so I figured why not. I'm happy to say that my instincts were right and what I read online about this being a non-versatile specialty knife wasn't true for me at all. This knife really is great for slicing and dicing meat and vegetables. Great for julienne cuts as well, but because of the slight curve on the belly you can also rock chop. Also, I think a 9-inch blade is the all-around perfect size for me. It's Good for larger items but also good for things like shallots and small peppers. Using this knife was a fun, interesting and refreshing experience for me. Although it's true that this knife excels at the down/ forward slicing movements, it's also good on the vertical side cuts and is not a bad rock chopper either. There's nothing that I can do with an 8-inch chef knife that I can't do with this. I would say a chef knife is a better rock chopper, but the Kiritsuke is better for slicing hands down. This Hoshanho blade is between a 12- and 15-degree angle making it very sharp. You are also getting good steel for what you are paying. I should also point out that I cook very little Asian cuisine. Mainly Mexican, American, Italian and some Indian.

Love this knife! It cuts through meat, vegetables, cheese….easily. Perfect cut every time.

Beat the arrival time as noted by Amazon. Make in China. Knife is very sharp. Good balance.

Adoro.Lama molto affilata.Esteticamente molto bello.Speriamo si mantenga cosi nel tempo.
