It's holding up well and the edge, while needing a little more touchup work than the Zwilling knives, remains super sharp. By a little more touchup work, I mean it needs about double the amount of passes on the steel to be where I want it to be before use, so an extra 10 seconds or so. For the price, it just cannot be beat. Most of my knives are Zwilling Four Star, not exactly the most expensive of knives but nice knives for the home chef aficionado. I had been wanting a nakiri knife for a while because my primary method of cutting is a chopping motion straight down, just cannot get used to the knife tip contact with the board rocking motion (but I keep trying/practicing!) and thanks to the relative parallel knife edge, it seems this knife style would fit the bill. Item arrived well packaged and in a box suitable for gifting. It weighs MUCH more than my santoku, which kind of surprised me, and has a very nice heft to it. It feels good in the hand and the balance, while not perfection, is very nice. Nothing is more dangerous than a dull knife in the kitchen so I take great pains to ensure all my cutlery has a very sharp edge. The edge on this blade out of the box is impressive to say the least, passing the old 'arm hair shave' test and paper cut test as though I had just edged the blade myself. It made short work of the veggies and the extra heft helped make the pushing through the produce that much easier. After several carrots, onions, bell pepper and bunch of celery, the edge retained it's sharpness as well as one of my Zwillings. Time will tell if it holds up to the rigors of daily use in terms of corrosion, but if you care for your knives as you should (no dishwasher kids, please) by honing before use and then washing, drying and properly storing, it should not be an issue, even with the cheapest of blades. I have a set of Chicago Cutlery blades with walnut handles that we received as a wedding present longer ago than I care to admit and most still serve us well to this day, but have been replaced one by one by finer steel. Not the Chicago Cutlery is bad but the edge retention isn't as good as a higher quality knife. For the price, I am shocked. This was going to be my 'let me see if I enjoy this style of knife before I drop some serious cash on one' test before I pass it on to one of the kids or return it, but this very well may be the knife I wind up keeping. Not a brand name snob, honestly, just a quality nut. This seems to me, albeit after limited use, to be worth a look if you are looking for this style knife. If my opinion changes, I will revise my review. Review: Very sharp knife - I really like this knife, very sharp, great feel, nice weight and grip. Be careful or you'll be missing a finger. Perfect knife for chopping or slicing vegetables. Blunt tip unlike a chiefs knife. ## Features - 8" NAKIRI KNIFE: This Asian vegetable knife is part of Kyoku's Samurai series, manufactured with modern technology and traditional craftsmanship; its Japanese high-carbon steel blade and perfectly balanced pakkawood handle offer superior precision and control to home chefs and culinary professionals alike - ULTRA-SHARP BLADE: Ruthlessly sharp, this kitchen knife delivers exceedingly precise cuts through fruit, vegetables, and more with negligible resistance; the steel’s 56-68 HRC strength provides unrivaled performance, superior corrosion resistance, and exceptional edge retention - CASE & PAKKAWOOD HANDLE: The carefully constructed pakkawood handle with its signature mosaic pin withstands cold, heat, corrosion, and moisture; the provided sheath and case allow you to preserve and store your knife with the cleanliness and care it deserves - ERGONOMIC DESIGN: This knife’s meticulous craftsmanship provides you with the perfect shape and weight distribution needed for well-balanced chopping, preventing fatigue and cramping even in professional settings requiring heavy use - Sheath & Case Included : Our knife comes with protective sheath to prevent nicks and gift box for easy gifting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BK53GZN | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,986 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #8 in Usuba & Nakiri Knives | | Blade Color | silver | | Blade Edge | double | | Blade Length | 6 Inches | | Blade Material | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 6 Inches | | Brand | KYOKU | | Brand Name | KYOKU | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,093 Reviews | | Handle Material | Pakkawood | | Included Components | knife and case | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Length | 8 Inches | | Manufacturer | KYOKU | | Manufacturer Part Number | GEKXCD070 | | Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 8541905335 | | Size | 6" | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Hollow - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** KYOKU - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Pakkawood ## Images ![KYOKU Samurai Series - Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife 7" - Full Tang - Japanese High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knives - Pakkawood Handle with Mosaic Pin - with Sheath & Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xXqF5BcmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seriously sharp out of the box *by D***H on March 1, 2021* Two Months Later - still love this knife.

Be careful or you'll be missing a finger. Perfect knife for chopping or slicing vegetables. Blunt tip unlike a chiefs knife. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Razor sharp, great quality *by G***A on February 22, 2026* I was considering sharpening some old knives, but bought this instead. Extremely sharp, cuts paper like a razor. I use this for slicing meats very thin. Overall, for the price this is an excellent quality knife. ## Frequently Bought Together - KYOKU Samurai Series - Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife 7" - Full Tang - Japanese High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knives - Pakkawood Handle with Mosaic Pin - with Sheath & Case - KYOKU Chef Knife - 8"- Shogun Series Japanese VG10 Steel Core Hammered Damascus Blade Kitchen Knife - with Sheath & Case - KYOKU 5-Knife Set with Block, 8” Chef Knife + 8” Bread Knife + 6.5” Boning Knife + 5” Utility Knife + 3.5” Paring Knife – Premium Japanese Steel Cutlery Kitchen Knives Set with Wooden Block --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/85000760-kyoku-samurai-series-nakiri-japanese-vegetable-knife-7-full-tang](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/85000760-kyoku-samurai-series-nakiri-japanese-vegetable-knife-7-full-tang) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
