Ryusen Fukakuryu KAI Nakiri 155mm

Sharp out of the box

Used it for prep

Who knew? This knife is awesome.

I never owned a Nakiri and I probably don’t need one but once I used this one…. oh boy. What a joy this knife is. Sharp? Heck yeah. Extremely so. Light? Absolutely. It goes through leeks, tomatoes, peppers, onions and probably any vegetable you can think of. Fit and finish are first rate. Fantastic handle. Beautiful maple but also very ergonomic. Outstanding balance and it is a thing of beauty as well. Buy a sheath if you keep it in a drawer. I’m building my own magnetic countertop knife holder and I already made a leather sleeve for it. I highly recommend this knife. My next one will be the Ryusen Fukakuryu Sujihiki in 270mm.

Phenomenal

Absolutely beautiful out of the box. I’ve never held a knife that feels so special before. Exquisite forge welding. Can’t comment on performance however as I still need to wait before getting to use it!
