PAUDIN Nakiri Knife - 7" Razor Sharp Meat Cleaver and Vegetable Kitchen Knife, High Carbon Stainless Steel, Multipurpose Asian Chef Knife for Home and Kitchen with Ergonomic Handle

Great knife. Excellently made. Super sharp. Perfect balance. Easy to use. Worth every penny.

I recently added the PAUDIN 7" Nakiri to my kitchen rotation, and it has quickly become my go-to for daily meal prep. If you’ve never used a Nakiri before, the flat profile is a game-changer for "push-cutting" vegetables without that annoying "accordion" effect where the slices stay connected. What I like: Out-of-the-Box Sharpness: It arrived razor-sharp. It glides through tough sweet potatoes and delicate tomatoes with equal ease. Ergonomics: The handle feels premium and fits comfortably in the hand, providing great control for fine dicing. The Aesthetic: The blade pattern looks beautiful on a magnetic knife strip—it definitely looks more expensive than it actually is. Versatility: While it's marketed as a vegetable knife, the height of the blade makes it a great "scoop" to transfer chopped food from the board to the pan. A quick tip: This is high-carbon stainless steel, so make sure to hand wash and dry it immediately to keep that finish looking pristine. Don't throw this one in the dishwasher! Overall, if you’re looking to upgrade from a standard chef’s knife for your vegetable prep, this is a fantastic value for the price.

This PAUDIN Nakiri knife is extremely sharp, well-balanced, and perfect for chopping veggies or meats. The high-carbon steel cuts smoothly, and the ergonomic handle feels great in the hand. Excellent quality for everyday cooking!

This knife is worth every penny. By the way, the price is also an excellent deal. It is a sharp as any nice I have ever used. It is very easy to handle. If you are a real cook, you need this knife.

Beautiful knife- works well but I’ll reserve the 5th star until I use it a bit more. Good knife for the price

This knife is well balanced and sharp!! It's nice that in the box was a sheath too. Thank you.

I have loved Paudin knives. I gave my entire Classic Whustof knife collection to my sister, once I started collecting Paudin. The 7” cleaver arrived today. It is beautiful. The packaging is awesome too. I have not owned a cleaver and look forward to honing my skills. Why Paudin- They are beautiful knives. The blade holds a sharpness for a long time. They are well balanced and easy to work with. My daughter took a chef’s course in college. She was required to purchase Paudin knives for the course. These knives are reasonably priced and a very good value.

Well I've had one for 8 months now and no complaints at all, just praise. Good handle, good grip, good balance, ideal size, easy cleanup (careful). Great veggie chopper, slicer, julienner. There are so many choices in a Nakiri, so I decided to narrow it down by selecting a name brand German company at a good price, and it worked! Watch that edge, it's sharp!
