Kimura Sashimi Knife, [Made in Japan], 8 inch Professional Chef Knife, Ultra Sharp High Carbon Molybdenum Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives, Chefs Knife with Ergonomic Handle - Japanese Sushi Knife

The Kimura paring knife is a great addition to the kitchen. It is very sharp, fits nicely in the hand and is easy to use. Ideal for preparing fruit and vegetables. Very good quality and value.

I thought this would be a cheap knife that I wouldn't mind chipping while processing meat, but honestly, the quality has blown my mind.It's quite lightweight but also perfectly balanced for a pinch grip. The design is simple and elegant and wouldn't look out of place in any kitchen, from a family-run cafe to a Michelin-starred restaurant.The spine isn't rounded, but it has clearly been sanded to create soft edges that don't dig into your fingers. The knife is razor-sharp right out of the box.The only thing I can see that isn't perfect is that the handle bolster isn't completely symmetrical; however, that certainly isn't something you can feel when holding it.I would take this over the flimsy feeling Victorinox budget chef knives and day of the week. Quite honestly, I think I'm going to order the entire set.Thank you, Kimura, for surprising me with a very nice knife.

This is a great quality knife for the price. It's finished to a high standard & the design is very nice.I'm not sure what type of steel it's made from but it stays sharp for long periods and I can restore its edge on my strop.

I ordered the damascus version couse I needed a good knife and I'm passionate about it so I did some research and I wanted a knife with a VG10 steel and I found this one. I was expecting it to he sharp but this knife goes beyond my expectations. Very good product and build quality. Thank you!

I’ve had the knife for a few weeks now and am very satisfied. It was not ridiculously expensive so I had an open mind (I went for Japan over China). It is now my go to knife. It remains razor sharp (my fingers have the proof). I have given it a few gentle swipes on a steel, that’s all. Good balance and construction looks solid. I’ll give it 5 in a year if it continues to please. Meantime it’s a buy from me.

Very impressed. Lots of weight to give a quality feel. I immediately sharpened four knives. They took the edge beautifully, leaving nice sharp blades. It really feels like a top quality product and I’m pleased I ordered it. Let’s hope it lasts for a long time. Very happy!

I honestly was sceptical when I ordered this I thought it wouldn’t be any good for the price it is.I got it out of the box and was pleasantly surprised by how Durable the steel felt and the weight behind it so I gave it a try on one of my home knives as there dull as all hell and after giving them a sharpen the blades felt much better.I brought it with me to work the next day and it hasn’t been in my knife roll once. Every member of my team is using it and the knives stay sharp for a whileThanks kimura

Very nice knife . Well presented must admit compared with my own knives that I have been using for 40 years some of them need replacing it feels very light. .

Excellent value. My 5 inch utility knife is extremely sharp, well balanced and exactly what I needed it for.

Knife came very sharp out of the box. It's lightweight and has a comfortable handle and has become a regular part of my knife rotation.

I just received this Nakiri knife. I’ve only sliced one tomato and 10 mushrooms with it. It’s very sharp and cut thru those 2 items with ease. It’s way too soon to write a good review.I had bought a 3x more expensive Japanese Nakiri for my son and he loves it for slicing soft vegetables.I didn’t want to spend as much for myself, but still wanted a Japanese Nakiri and found this one at an affordable price.Since Nakiri is a Japanese style knife, it was important to me that the knife was made in Japan and not in China.So far I’m very pleased with the look, the handling and the sharpness.Neither my son’s knife nor this one came with a knife sheath and it is a needed item due to their shape won’t fit into most knife blocks and their extremely sharp and fine edge needs to be protected.I bought 2 knife sheaths for our 2 Nakiri knives.For the price, this brand seems to be very good.

For the cost, the quality is GREAT. It is super easy to use and ive tried other knives before but this is by far my favorite!!

I’ve used it only 1 time. It was sharp and light.
