  Very nice knife. Super sharp right out if the box. Blade is very thin too.Bought this for $29.99 direct from Zwilling J.A. Henckels. It's an excellent value. Santoku knives are nice, but many manufacturers are putting a large curve on the blade for a rocking motion. I have a large curve on my chef knives, so I did not need another knife like that. But that's my opinion.When I saw the Nakiri style knife from Zwilling, especially at this price, I had to try it. Glad I did. Practiced tonight using the up-and-down slicing motion to slice some carrots. I cut a few so thin that they were translucent :-). I also like how the blade is large enough to allow it to be used like a dough scraper... for picking up the veggies I just chopped/sliced.I definitely recommend this nakiri style knife.

  This is a very nice and very sharp knife. This one was actually my second one purchase as a gift for my son who cooks in a restaurant. I love the weight and the shape of the blade for all of my cutting. I use it over some of my more expensive knives. Highly recommend.

  I’m just learning to actually cook! And I mean really cook-so I need the right tools! I bought this knife which was at least $20 less than everywhere else I saw! So I jumped on it-especially since I ordered for $116 from another the manufacturer and it never showed!! So yesterday I used it to cut veggies for lunch! I have only this to say-I scream with actual delight! It was stupid! But I was shocked how easy it just sliced through vegetables that normally take more effort! And I was able to get very consistent sizes! Happy with this purchase-is an understatement!! Ecstatic! And yes, I realized after writing this-I’m adulting! I’m not over thirlled about that realization! 😂

  Well balanced and light weight, can tell immediately this is a quality knife - of course blade is wicked sharp out of the package, and other Zwilling/Henkels blades we own hold an edge for a long time, so I have no doubt this will perform as well. Purchased for daily use, so the weight and balance are very important to us, this blade meets our needs for sure!

  I saw a similar knife on Milk Street that was sold out, so I looked on Amazon. The selling point on Milk Street was that it was supposed to be a lighter knife than most chopping-type knives, but I found this knife to be slightly heavier than my usual chopping knives. Nevertheless, it is not too heavy, the craftsmanship is very nice, and the blade was extremely sharp, which has been really good at catching that slight edge to make really thin cuts. I expect to be using this knife regularly for a long time.

  Saw the knife being used in a vlog on Fathering Autism and was impressed with the performance. Since he provided a link to the product, I purchased and find that it is a perfect size, does a great job and was exactly the perfect sized knife I needed.
