KEEMAKENakiri Knife 7 inch Japanese Vegetable Knife 3 Layer 9CR18MOV Superior Stainless Steel Sharp Asian Knives with Octagonal Handle

I’m a professional chef and have been for 10 years. This is a wonderful knife for anyone just starting to cook or someone like myself who uses knives everyday in the workplace. I wanted a vegetable knife that wasn’t as expensive as a shun or miyabi but still holds a good edge . This knife delivers that. It has a little bit of weight to it which is very nice when cutting through large onions or carrots . It has a good balance . It stays sharp and looks beautiful, doesn’t look cheap like alot of 40$ knives do. The handle is beautiful as well and makes for an easy hold. The nonstick coating along with the hammered blade is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful knife that gets the job done and maintains a good edge, I also don’t have to worry about dropping or chipping it because it was only 40$ . When I use my Miyabi I am very meticulous where I put it and how I treat it because it’s a higher class of knife that requires more care and costs alot more money . This knife delivers everything you need and I will defenitly be buying more products from this company in the future .

I didn't know if the handle would be comfortable, but it fits my hand with great comfort allowing better control while cutting vegetables and meat. I am impressed overall with the knife's quality and sharpness.

Super shape out of the box but will need whetstone sharpening about every other week to a month depending on how often you use it/what you’re cutting with it. I’m a sushi chef and have a lot of fun using it at work but it’s definitely not for skinning whole loins or slicing sashimi. Get you a nice yanagiba for that. But it’s perfect for slicing through rolls and has that classic Japanese look and feel. The grip of the octagonal shape of the handle feels a little sharper than others I have (similiar style set) but I’m sure will smooth out as I use it more. Great blade shape! Performs kind of like a short fat chefs knife or like a chefs mixed with a santoku so you get best of both worlds for cutting technique! Nearly perfect balance for nice stability when using. Excellent quality for the price and look! Instant classic and one of my favorite new toys already! My only wish is that I wish it came with a felt lined sheath or wooden sia. I’d pay $5 more for the standard sheath or $10 more if it came with a sia that fit! But seeing as we’re on the cheap things delivery app it’s easy to just buy something from another brand.

Got the 7 inch santoku for my partner as a Christmas gift! This thing is SHARP and seems quite sturdy with a good weight to it. Comes with a little polishing cloth too. Great knife for home chefs like me, not sure how it would hold up to more pricey and professional knives, but for my use it was perfect.

This is a good knife for what it costs. It is not a high end Japanese knife. It feels fairly janky in comparison to a good Japanese knife. You’re not going to spend $40 here and get the real thing. I sent my Shun knives off for sharpening and bought this guy to work with until they come back. It’s pretty good! Doesn’t balance all that well, which I expected. And it’s heavy. It came decently ok sharp. Feels pretty decent in the hand. Blade is straight. I feel good about the purchase. I’m keeping it around as a knock around knife and something to bring on camping trips and vacations. It’s a $40 knife. It’s a good knife. If you’re just starting out getting serious about cooking, don’t buy this knife. Spend $100 or so and get a real knife.

Got this knife as a gift for my husband and it has easily become a favorite. It’s VERY sharp. You do need to hand wash it and dry it or it’ll rust, but sometimes the best things need a little extra TLC.

Very pretty and VERY sharp. works great and love to use it

This looks and feels like a decent quality knife. It at least seems better than most of the ones I see at box stores like Walmart and Target. It came in a nice padded box that can be used for storage as well.I have only used it a couple of times so far but it has worked well.

The knife blade has a nice finish and appears very durable. The handle has a nice feel. The knife had more heft / weight than I expected. Out of the box it was very sharp!

Surprisingly good knife for the money! It actually takes and holds an edge better than some of my more expensive bigger brand name knives. Especially good in a pro kitchen where you don't want to risk better knives being wrecked

Ho acquistato il coltello giapponese Keemake dopo aver letto diverse recensioni positive e, tutto sommato, posso dire che non sono rimasto deluso. Tuttavia, ci sono alcune considerazioni che vorrei condividere per aiutare altri potenziali acquirenti.#### Qualità CostruttivaIl coltello Keemake ha una buona qualità costruttiva, specialmente considerando il prezzo contenuto rispetto ad altri coltelli giapponesi di fascia alta. La lama è affilata e mantiene un buon filo anche dopo diverse sessioni di utilizzo. Il manico è ergonomico e confortevole, rendendo il coltello facile da maneggiare per lunghi periodi senza affaticare la mano.#### PrestazioniLe prestazioni del coltello sono più che soddisfacenti per un uso quotidiano in cucina. È eccellente per tagliare verdure, carne e pesce con precisione. Tuttavia, quando si tratta di compiti più impegnativi, come tagliare pezzi di carne più spessi o alimenti più duri, si nota che non è al livello dei coltelli professionali più costosi.#### PrezzoIl prezzo è uno dei punti di forza di questo coltello. È difficile trovare un coltello giapponese di buona qualità a un prezzo così accessibile. Questo lo rende un'opzione eccellente per chi cerca un buon coltello senza spendere una fortuna.#### Aspetti NegativiNonostante i numerosi aspetti positivi, il Keemake non riesce a soddisfare completamente le esigenze di chi è abituato a coltelli di fascia alta. La lama, seppur affilata, non ha la stessa resistenza e tenuta del filo di coltelli più costosi. Inoltre, il manico, pur essendo confortevole, non ha quella sensazione di solidità che si trova nei coltelli professionali.#### ConclusioneIn conclusione, il coltello giapponese Keemake rappresenta un buon compromesso tra qualità e prezzo. È ideale per chi cerca un coltello affidabile per l'uso quotidiano senza spendere cifre esorbitanti. Tuttavia, se siete alla ricerca di un coltello di qualità professionale, potreste rimanere con il desiderio di qualcosa di più performante. Per il prezzo pagato, però, è difficile chiedere di meglio.

Der Messer liegt gut in der Hand und die anfangsschärfe ist eher schwach meiner Meinung nach. Nach dem ich den Messer final geschärft habe, bin ich mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden. Es gleitet nur so dahin.Für den Preis völlig in Ordnung.

Well-made, finely balanced, sharper than any razor. No kitchen is complete without it.
