The edge retention is impressive—after a month of daily use, it still slices thin, even pieces. The wooden handle gives a solid grip, and the blade’s balance makes long chops feel effortless.

I grabbed this Nakiri for slicing veggies to grill alongside burgers. It’s sturdy, feels balanced, and the blade stays sharp even after chopping through bell peppers and corn.
