Great. . definitely would again

"Love this knife"

— Collin D. (5/5)

Nakiri with a point

"I love this Nakiri because the point is so crucial but it's still a great veg chopper. My only issue was that the knife didn't come as sharp as I'm used to getting brand new knives but that's something I can do myself so it doesn't affect my rating"

Review from MGH in Glacier national park

"Very sharp, durable and my new favorite daily prep task knife. Its a bit of a longer hilt then what im used to but over all a great size. Holds edge very nice and a beautiful wood grip needs a bit of a adjustment to the weight but not in a bad way. Its lighter then it looks but that makes chopping that much easier"

"It is fantastic!"

I Should Send It Back - but I won’t

"I really wanted to love this knife. But I don’t. The blade is thicker than necessary and the Spanish point is a design feature that kind of mutes the Nakiri form. It gets in the way for me, more than it helps. The knife was not what I considered sharp at first and took some effort to hone properly (it’s the thickness). The handle is perfect. All in all, an average German knife."

— Jeffrey P. (3/5)
