Shun Premier 5.5'' Nakiri

The Shun 5.5” Classic Nakiri Knife is a solid choice if you do a lot of vegetable prep. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and lightweight, making chopping and slicing effortless. The handle feels comfortable and secure, and the hollow-ground blade helps keep food from sticking. It’s not meant for heavy-duty tasks, but for veggies, it’s fantastic. Happy with it!

My favorite knife! I have been using this knife for quite a while and it's still my go-to knife. It's a beautiful knife and fits comfortably in your hands. I use this mainly for vegetables and fruits.

Very sharp , perfect handle , high quality , highly recommended , pricey but worth it

My initial concern was blade being on the short side. But it turns out to be perfect. Quality is top notch and overall feel is good. A+ .

Love the design. It's a beautiful knife. And it's reasonably sharp, but given the reputation of Shun, I am disappointed that it is not sharper. I have knives that haven't been sharpened in a year that are sharper. I suppose I could try to sharpen it myself to get a better edge, but it's baffling that it did not arrive razor sharp.

I cop a lot of vegetables and this knife is fabulous for vegetables. It speeds up my work and makes great cuts. I’m delighted with this knife

Awesome hand feel and balance, blade is extremely sharpe at it cuts soft vegetables (tomatoes) to beef brisket with ease! Love this knife. My new “go-to” knife!

Wish it was a little bigger, but cuts like a dream. I have a few Shun Premier knives and I can’t imagine I could be swayed to buy from anyone else

I have Ben using this knife for over a month now and feel I can give a considered opinion on this knife. The reality is that this is truly an exceptional knife. The quality of this knife is indisputable, but it is the balance & functionality that makes it stand above any knife I have used. I have a shun santoku knife with a Ken Onion handle that is my utility knife and has always impressed me, but it doesn’t even compare or this Nakiri blade for chopping and processing quickly and precisely. Don’t hesitate to purchase this knife!

Received the knife in perfect condition, this is one beautiful piece of cutlery. Incredibly sharp and perfectly balanced
