RASSE Nakiri Knife 7" Professional Japanese Kitchen Knife Sharp and Vegetable Kitchen Knives Hand-Forged High Carbon AUS-8 Stainless Steel Chef Knife with Rosewood Handle & Gift Box

Exellent knife. Super sharp and nice balance . Very good price.

very nice and well balanced knife good for home use just be carefull, I know what I am doing.

This is a good knife. Nice hefty weight, handle is comfortable to grip, blade is richly decorative and very sharp. It feels balanced in the hand, and professional. My only reservation is that I would have liked it to have been made in Japan, in keeping with the origin of its design, not China. That said, it was reasonably priced. An authentic Japanese version would probably have been a lot more expensive.

The knife is very good quality. For my hand the handle is bit lengthy. Chopping hard bones easily. Overall a good one.

Damned sharp!

No complaints. 👍

Just bought 2 knives from here. They look fantastic and feel fantastic in my hands. Can't wait to try them out when cooking. The blades are sharp and finish on the knives are excellent. Hopefully last a lifetime. Good investment

This knife is excellent for everyday kitchen use. It’s really sharp out of the box and stays sharp longer than I expected. The balance feels perfect in hand, making chopping and slicing effortless. The handle is comfortable, and the build quality feels premium. Definitely a great addition to any kitchen.

Thicker and heavier than I was expecting. Good handle.

Super Messer

This is a Japanese-style made in China gyuto. It says it’s made with Japanese AUS-8 steel, but most likely it’s one of its Chinese equivalents: 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV, which are decent enough steels for the purpose, if they were heat treated properly. These are stainless steels, but unlike the typical Euro stainless steels, will stain or even rust, if they are not washed and dried promptly. No dishhwasher, the nice tropical hardwood won’t survive that either. It is really well designed, executed and very nice looking. The hammered finish is decorative, it has little to do with food release. The blade is ground slightly convex, which is more inportant for food release. The blade isn’t very thin, so it will wedge a little, but also it is not very thick either. The biggest surprise is that it is really well balanced. It is slightly blade heavy, as it should be for this style, but the balance point is just 1 inch in fornt of the heel, so it feels close to neutral in a pinch grip. The back of the knife and the choil are a little sharp, but can be easily rounded a bit with sandpaper for a more comfortable pinch grip. For a 20-25 $ knife, it is an excellent value, but don’t expect the performance and edge holding of a 100-200$ authentic Japanese knife. It is definitely better than most of the 30-70$ typical chef’s knives you can buy in big box stores or even online. I highly recommend it at this price point, but wouldn’t buy it if it cost more than $30. Despite a review extolling its virtue as a good day-to-day tool in a professional kitchen, it is not optimal for the huge demand and potential abuse in a busy pro environment. This is a knife for a home cook. It has excellent esthetics and decent enough performance. I highly recommend it at this price point.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son because he always complained about the knives in the house being full and he loves anything Japanese. O Really sharp knife. Great quality, excellent for cutting meat, fish, whatever’s clever. Really nice looking and attractively boxed so it makes a great gift.

Groß und schwer, wirkt gut verarbeitet, das Design mit „Hammerschlag“ zum Rücken hin muss man mögen. Den Punktabzug gibt es weil das Messer stumpf geliefert wurde und der Kunde zunächst 30 min mit Nassschliff verbringen musste um ein küchentaugliches Werkzeug nutzen zu können.
