It's really hard to beat a hand forged knife made in Japan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous Craftsmanship *by on Reviewed in the United States 16 February 2026* I've never had a Nakiri Knife before. I eliminated all my Henckels knives that had black plastic handles. I'm trying to eliminate as much plastic from my kitchen as possible. I chose this gorgeous knife for a few reasons: First was the wooden handle. No more plastic handles for me. Secondly was the shape of the handle. Very ergonomic for my arthritic hands. Third was the beautiful craftsmanship. This is incredibly sharp and makes cutting vegetables so quick and easy. This wasn't inexpensive, but it will last me the rest of my life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game changer. Just do it! *by on Reviewed in the United States 12 January 2026* I cannot believe how bad I needed this knife and I did’t know it. I’ve used it for over and year and it is still as amazing as when I got it. Extremely straight and sharp as you’d expect. Seriously this thing is so much fun to use. It cuts carrots like butter and it’s very satisfying to prep dinner every night.Keep the box for free sharpening in the future. I’ve used this thing almost daily and only once so far did I gently take it to the honing steel and it was like new again.If you’re on the fence about investing in a nice knife, this one will blow you away. My go-to knife for 10+ years has been a Zwilling Santoku and I still love it but wow, the feel and function of this thing is amazing.You will definitly pass this knife on to your kids one day. Mine is still brand new! ## Frequently Bought Together - Shun Cutlery Premier Grey Nakiri Knife 5.5", Ideal Chopping Knife for Vegetables and All-Purpose Chef Knife, Professional Nakiri Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife - Shun Cutlery Premier Grey Chef's Knife 8”, Thin, Light Kitchen Knife, Ideal for All-Around Food Preparation, Authentic, Handcrafted Japanese Knife, Professional Chef Knife - Shun Cutlery Premier Grey Santoku Knife 7", Asian-Inspired Knife for All-Purpose Food Prep, Chef Knife Alternative, Handcrafted Japanese Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/310453530-shun-cutlery-premier-grey-nakiri-knife-5-5-ideal-chopping](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/310453530-shun-cutlery-premier-grey-nakiri-knife-5-5-ideal-chopping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
