Mystery Nakiri Knife,

This review is from: Calphalon Katana 5-Inch Nakiri Knife (Kitchen)
I found this knife while browsing on the Amazon site. I have yet to see any reference to a 5" Katana nakiri knife on the Calphalon site. This is maybe my sixth Katana knife, and I really love each of them. I have not had any of the rusting problems mentioned in several reviews. The knives out of the box are the sharpest I have seen. I really like the balance and the wide tapered bolster, which helps remind the user to grip these knives properly. I generally clean my knives fairly shortly after use, but it seems that is the best way to care for good cookware and cutlery. The size and balance of this smaller nakiri is excellent, and it is a great vegetable mini-cleaver. The nakiri lends itself to a slightly forward stroke when slicing and chopping, and it works fine. The price is way out of line on the low side compared with other Katana knives. I have been buying and using them on a piecemeal basis, and I really like each knife I have bought with the exception of the serrated slicing knife. For some reason, it seemed to shred delicate items rather than saw cleanly. I returned it. The first one I got was the 6" chef's knife, and it has been one of the best short chef knives I have ever used. It has maintained its very sharp edge for well over a year, and, again, not a hint of rust problems. Other than the serrated knife, I would recommend any of those I have bought and used, including the 8" chef knife, the 3.5" paring knife, the 9" bread knife, and the 5.5 inch honesuki.

I have the small Katana Sontoku that I bought at an outlet mall for $29.95 also so I knew this was a good price. I think both were greatly reduced because they were being discontinued. The big brother of this guy is anout 3x as much. All of that being said,I knew how good the line was from my prevoius purchase and wasn't disapointed with this one. I sharpened it on a 3000 grit Japanese water stone and it's now "the sharpeset knife in the drawer". I'll watch for Big Brother to go on sale somewhere.
