Customer Feedback:
I wanted a set of knives for a while and after a long search I settled on those. Very happy with the purchase. The shipping experience was not the best, but once received I can honestly say the knives are esthetically and functionally very pleasing.\n\nThe Nakuri is a lot lighter than expected and is great to work with. Good handle and thin/ light blade makes it very convenient for the bigger veggies / slicing jobs.
