I wanted to try this style of knife in a cheap version before going for the $200 version. It does very well. I chopped up a head of lettuce with it and the blade was almost long enough to cut from one side to the other. The blade went though lettuce very easily and worked great as a scooper after. I would say it was only about 1/2 inch too short to make it. I did try a think skinned tomato and have to use a little slicing action to get the skin to break, but not much. This does come pretty sharp out of the box just like it should but not impressively sharp. Its as sharp as you would expect a cheap knife to be. This seems well constructed. Nothing is loose, and I doesn't feel like I need to be careful with it. The weight is designed for a grip with forefinger and thumb on the blade while the rest of the fingers grab the handle. This is the preferred grip for this knife anyway and it balances well with it. The wood on the handle is not rough and felt good.After using this I will be purchasing a high end version one day but I plan to continue using this for awhile. I wanted to get familiar with this type of knife to see if I wanted a Nakiri or and Usuba. This is a Nakiri not an Usuba. I say that because some of the labeling on some knives can be vague on this. Nakiri's are sharpened from both sides and Usuba's are only sharpened from one. This knife worked well enough that I am not in a hurry to replace it and will be spending some time getting familiar with the different style and shape before I make a decision on Nakiri or Usuba.Picture for size refference. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great knife at low-end of price spectrum *by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2012* I think this knife is a good value if you want this specific kind of specialized knife.You might want to know that I'm a bit of a sharpening geek, and I spent some time getting the edge just how I wanted, but now that I have it slices like nothing else in my knife drawer (of about 20 knives). I'm not sure I would be this satisfied if I hadn't known how to resharpen the edge to my satisfaction. Others have noted it doesn't hold up to multiple re-sharpenings which I'm sure means they haven't known how to restore the edge properly. The steel is just fine. It's not super high-grade knife steel perhaps, but it takes a keen edge just fine and holds up when ground at the right angle.I'm sure it's not for everybody. I'm not sure how long the factory edge would hold up without some loving care. And it's a very specialized knife, really optimized for slicing fish into sashimi-sized slices.But I wanted to try out this style of knife and the next price point for a knife of this style was about $100, more than I wanted to pay to experiment.For those who might care about the sharpening details, I started by flattening and then polishing the back to 2000-grit (actually just the edges of the back get flattened and polished since the back is hollow-ground). This is a must-do step to get a really keen edge since the edge is only ground on one side (like a plane iron). Then I trued up the primary grind on the other side to 15 degrees (seemed like it was about 17 to start), then put a secondary edge at about 20 degrees when the 15 degree edge wouldn't hold up very well. With the secondary edge polished to 2000-grit, the edge cuts (slices, not chops) extremely well, better than any knife I've ever used, and seems to be holding up well with a gentle (ceramic) steeling before each use.I feel like I have a good feel for this style of knife now and might invest in a higher-end model later if the spirit moves :)Do note that this knife is shorter than described and as it appears in the picture. The blade length is 200mm, not 300mm, and the overall length of the knife, including handle, is 320mm. Knife length is properly described by the length of the cutting blade, not including the handle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Decent knife, worth the $$ *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015* First off, this knife is priced anywhere from $16-24 at the local asian stores, so I feel like I got a good deal at $11. I really only bought the knife to increase my order total and get free shipping. Knife came in on time, and was super sharp straight out of the box. It looks just like the pictures, which alleviated my concerns after reading other reviews. Fitting of the blade to the handle is good. The handle itself is rough and needs some light sanding and clear coat to really feel nice, but I haven't done that yet. I use this knife almost exclusively for meats at work; breaking down pork shoulders, stripping skin from meat, cutting fish, beef, chicken, etc. It works great. I haven't done any sharpening or honing, and the knife is holding it's edge well. It cuts through pig skin like a pencil drawing on paper. The lightweight feel of it makes it super precise for cutting around bones. For $11, I'll see how long it keeps that nice edge, and when it's gone, I'll just buy a new one. When that happens, I'll probably put a new finish on the blade, sand and polish the handle, sharpen it up again, and sell it for more than I paid. --- ## 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.hr/products/1353751-happy-saleshsst-100-japanese-paring-knife-with-sheath-natural](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1353751-happy-saleshsst-100-japanese-paring-knife-with-sheath-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
