Japanese KAI Seki Magoroku Watakake Nakiri Knife 165mm AB-5424 Made in JAPAN

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love this knife! Good quality, very sharp and great price. Buy it!

Though I have a set of more expensive knifes that I baby, this is my go to knife, it's sharp and very functional. Be careful handling, the heel point also very sharp.

Its a $20 knife manufactured in Japan! So how good can it be and is it worth the $20? It is a very sharp knife out of the box, however it is thin and light so I wont be cutting any butternut squash with it, but for toms and zucchini and cabbage etc. its just fine. It does require regular honing and sharpening, maybe once a month or two, and this will of course wear away the metal quicker than a harder steel knife, so I expect this knife to last about three years. So, a good lightweight and regularly sharpened Japanese vegetable knife for $20 works out a bargain in my opinion and fits the purpose. I bought a second knife as a small gift and it too is appreciated.

Very sharp knife, cuts carrots and potatoes easily. Comfortable handle and very sturdy

Works great.We use this knife for everything.Works especially well on vegetables and not as well for meat. Although it does do the job.

Comes sharp, is a good size and feels good but it is a very lightweight knife with a plastic handle riveted on. It is made to cut veg but I think it would still be better if the blade had more heft. Made in Japan. I think its a good starter to check out this type of knife to see if it's something you like. I think its a decent value but not a hidden gem.

Excellent value. Very sharp and it works well as a vegetable knife including very fine shredded cabbage.

This knife is very comfortable to hold. It is light weight, the wide, rectangular shaped blade is perfect for cutting up vegetables. It cuts meat just fine too even though it doesn’t have a pointed tip. It’s very affordable, and a well made knife. The steel may not be as hard as more expensive knife. I might have to sharpen it more often than other knives, but I don’t mind since it’s very comfortable in my hand.
