This type of knife — known in Japan, I believe, as a Nakiri knife — combines many of the best features of a cleaver and a santoku in a lightweight and delightfully maneuverable kitchen knife. The blade is extraordinarily sharp, and the Henckels Four Star handle is extremely comfortable to hold, like all the other products in the Four Star line. We love it. It’s great for chopping and then picking up what you’ve chopped and moving it into a dish or prep bowl; also excellent for slicing and other tasks. It’s an all-around star, and has become the first knife we reach for when we’re cooking up… in fact, we may have to order another one, to prevent squabbles over who gets to use it!

Great knife! I like to use for herbs and foods the like to climb up the blade when cutting. The flat cutting edge allows me to use more of the blade before having to push the food off the blade. Like green onions for example. Strong, lightweight, thin, VERY sharp blade.

I’ve had my Zwilling knives for 35 years. They are wonderful. This is the first knife I’ve purchased since then. I love it! It goes through the food as if I’m cutting butter. It also has great balance in the hand. I now need to have my other knives professionally sharpened beacause this knife makes the others feel dull. I definitely recommend.

It’s a well made knife. Was pretty sharp right out of the box. I am happy with it.

I like how it handles. I cook for a living and have held knives that I thought were awkward or difficult to handle. This knife has a smooth and comfortable way of handling.

Thin blade, quite sharp! I got the knife to do onion slicing, and now I use it for every vegetable

This ZWILLING Nakiri is such a pleasure to use.
The blade is super sharp.
The handle is comfortable.
I was in awe!
When preparing vegetables, a Nakiri is definitely the way to go.

I got this mostly for chopping veggies. I have a cleaver that I use very often. I love the way I can “scoop” up cut veggies with it, but I wanted something a little more agile and is easier to be precise with. I love to chop up veggies very small for presentation. I like my tomatoes wafer thin, so they are easy to bite through in a sandwich, etc. For my kitchen knives, my typical preference is for value over a name or something pretty. My wife will leave knives dirty or in water, so I have to be careful about the steel and handle material I select unfortunately. So that is my criteria, and this knife seems to be everything I was wanting. It is thin and light which is fine, but I didn’t expect it to be as thin as it is. 2/3 of my knives are Victorinox which are quite utilitarian. This little beauty is not as utilitarian, and it even appears to have a small hamon, as though the cutting edge is hardened differently. It is not exotic like a Shun, but it appears to be very nice in a much more subtle way. It came out of the box acutely sharp. I work with a lot of tools, so normally I don’t think about it much, but this knife is sharp enough to cause me to ensure that I am focused when using or washing it. Part of the sharpness is due to the fact that it is thin. I am sure a few swipes on a sharpening steel will easily keep it sharp when as the edge wears. I can’t really say how durable the edge is yet. I am sure it depends largely on use & care. So in summary, It is a lovely little knife that cuts with ease and precision. I was laughing as I cut up a tomato for a BLT because I was slicing up almost translucent wafers of tomato repeatedly. Being a flat & very smooth grind, everything “sticks” to the blade as you slice, but that is to be expected for a blade like this. For now, I am very happy with it. Next time I am looking for a knife and ZWILLING has one, I’m pretty likely to give it a try. However, if this chips out or doesn’t sharpen well or something like that, I’ll update this review. Enjoy!
