Kai Luna 6.5" Asian Utility Knife

I purchased this just to see if it was any good. It is! Made by the same parent company as Shun, this knife is far superior to knives many times the price. The handle is basic but comfortable. The blade is beautiful and sharp! It holds an edge extremely well! It cuts better than anything I've used that wasn't VASTLY more expensive. After using this knife for a few days I decided to purchase the entire line of Kai Luna knives. They are unbelievably good! Especially for how inexpensive they are. I highly recommend this and all Kai Luna knives.

As a former chef I've become a knife snob. I look for sharpness, balance, longevity and value. I'm too cheap to pay a ton for my knives, having been burned in the past with high-end knives. I usually grab this one first before the higher priced ones if the application warrants it. Holds a good edge for longer than I would have expected for the price.

I have all the knives I need, and bought this just to evaluate the Luna line. This review is for the "kiritsuke nakiri." ("Asian" blade.) It's a fairly good steel, comes with a decent edge, and is an excellent value. The handle is a bit thin for an Asian style blade, and could become slippery, but used on the usual vegetables should be fine. Based on this experience I would recommend the Luna line, especially for a new cook (wedding gift, etc.). They're not "artisan" knives, but more than I expected for the money, thin enough to cut easily, and will last for a good long time. I might buy a few more, and save my "good" knives from excessive wear.

Wanted a sharp and inexpensive knife, this one meets all the needs! Very happy with it, now I don’t have headache to cut meats any more! Highly recommended!

I’m a big fan of Kai knives. I bought a set on prime days two years ago and couldn’t believe how well they held their edge. I’ve continued to buy them since and now own two sets and three speciality knives. I have a set of Global that goes unused do to my affection for these. I run them through my sharpener every third or fourth use and they stay very sharp. Perfect knife for the home cook.

Blade edge was ground uneven angle was not consistent

had to hide it from my family, you wouldn’t image the things they cut through. works very well and love the design

The handle is a little bit thin for me, I have large hands, my wife doesn't seem to mind, the light grey sections are the 'soft-grip overlays' and the black is a hard plastic, has 'china' molded into the handle right where my index finger sits The sheath fits nice and tight, and can be positioned so the edge doesn't rub on the bottom

I use this knife for a few weeks now, and it`s my go to, especially when it comes to chopping vegetables. The blade has a very ergonomic shape, and it kept its edge rather well, even though it might not be made from the strongest steel. The handle feels a bit thin in my hand, but my wife says it is nice and comfortable. Overall, it is a rather good knife.

Es un cuchillo filoso, ya me corte en una orillita del lado del mango. Corta excelente, llevo poco uso (2 semanas) pero hasta ahora no ha perdido filo. Ayer corte piña y todo muy bien y fácil.

Un precio bueno para el filo que tiene ,lo único que está un poco incómodo al hacer esfuerzo es el mango,pero tiene un super filo

Por el costo del artículo, el producto es bastante bueno, buen filo de fábrica, sin embargo el material permite afilarlo bastante mejor; Buen peso y perfil del filo, josto para lo que es, pelar, aunque dado el tamaño de hoja se presta para muchas aplicacione. Único punto en contra el mango, desmejora el aspecto, de ahí en más es un buen artículo por el precio.

El diseño está padre y no es nada pesado, vale la pena.
