## Description

A friend of the real home cook, chef Christopher Kimball has taught cooking for over three decades on national TV and radio and in award-winning cookbooks and magazines. His vast experience is the core of the Christopher Kimball Edition collection - expertly designed knives for everyday cooking. The Nakiri Knife is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping large fruits and vegetables. Its sharp, slender blade produces beautifully thin cuts and precise juliennes. With the wide, rectangular blade of a cleaver and the versatility of a chef's knife, this traditional Japanese vegetable cleaver is an essential for discerning chefs. Professional chefs around the world trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. Whether you're a master chef, or just learning your way around the kitchen, we offer the very best series and collections to choose from. They will NOT STAIN, or chip and they retain their sharpness longer. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the laser-controlled edge is the sharpest you'll find. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard. Weighing in at less than 1 lb, slicing through meat and bread alike is effortless. This is the perfect knife for a culinary artisan creating a restaurant-style dish or a family making a delicious, chopped salad. Complete your collection by pairing this with one of our self-sharpening block sets, a steak knife set, kitchen scissors, or a single knife such as a carving, paring, or butcher knife (sold separately.)

Review: Easy to sharpen, and holds its' edge! - I'm a serious cook who gives my knives a serious workout. This knife passes the test! In my kitchen I am putting my knives to continuous, hard work. Be it shallots, or garlic, or breaking down a chicken; this knife handles it all! It is super important to me that my knives are full tang and high-carbon steel (no "Cutco" for me!). But I also can not afford to spend $300 on a knife! Christopher Kimball's Henckel Nakiri knife to the rescue! Seriously, this knife is a work horse. It tackles every task I put it to with proficiency, comfort, and efficiency. No need to constantly sharpen and re-sharpen, nor does it whimp out on difficult jobs. It just works. Sharpening is fairly easy with my trusty sharpener/honer/polisher. And it holds it edge for a week or more-typically. If I'm breaking down a lot of chicken, or chopping piles upon piles of carrots and horseradish then sure-it gets sharpened more often. This has become my most favorite tool in the kitchen, and is one that I have given to all of our children and is a favorite wedding gift-it's just that good! So I'd say that for the relatively low price, it holds great value. Worth a try. Definitely I'm glad to keep on in my kitchen, and carry it with me when I travel.
Review: Best Knife Upgrade Ever - I needed to replace the chef's knife from my "My First Kitchen Knives Yay I'm An Adult!" set, because, as is typical, it was cheap and I deserved an upgrade. I picked this knife because a) it's a good brand, and b) after much research, I decided a Nakiri knife was best for my needs, since I cut a lot of vegetables. Adjusting to the new slicing/chopping style has been pretty easy. It's been a pretty amazing experience so far. It just sort of floats as it slices through peppers. Chopping onions is not only faster, but safer. Mincing garlic and herbs is a bit trickier, since you don't have the natural rock of the curved blade, but it's taking just a couple more seconds. I haven't tried cutting up a butternut squash yet, but it's supposed to be easier, too. The full tang riveted handle is slender enough for my hand, and choking up on the blade is pretty comfortable. Overall, I'm very happy.
