    Thanks for the post, it's nice to see a kitchen knife above the absolute budget range on here.

    Could be a great knife, but if you plan on sharpening it yourself and having it for a long time that thick choil at the base is going to stop you being able to sharpen it evenly (without a lot of work).

    Mercer have some cracking knives at this price point, £15 for their basic nakiri here:
    Mercer Culinary Millennia Black Handle 7" Nakiri Knife amzn.eu/d/3…O22

    The forged version, Genesis, is £40 at the mo, and though I haven't got the nakiri I'm v impressed with the build quality of this range, and it'd be my pick for anyone who can stretch to this price bracket:
    Mercer Culinary Genesis 7-Inch Nakiri Knife, Stainless Steel, Black, 38x10x3 cm amzn.eu/d/6…anx

    I know many will diss me for this, and that's ok. I bought this in March 21.
    amazon.co.uk/gp/…tle

    It cost me £6 at the time and I bought it because it was cheap and the reviews were surprisingly good. But I still had low expectations.

    I use it 2-5 times a week and use a zwilling diamond steel to sharpen it pretty much each time. But only a swipe or 2. I always wash it in the dishwasher.

    It's been razor sharp all thru until today and is my go to for veg prep.

    I have grown the belief that the only thing that matters about a knife is its ability to take an edge, and this does it perfectly.

    But my god it's an embarrassingly ugly handle.

    Review was all good until you wrote that you put it in the dishwasher. 😦

    What is the best way of sharpening this knife? Can you do it like a standard knife?
    shlomo0's avatar
    It's a pain to sharpen due to the thick choil at the base, which stops you taking material off the whole edge evenly. It's possible, but difficult, and not really worth the time and effort for a knife of this quality.

    If you're handy with them, whetstones are always fantastic, and a bad job with a whetstone is still going to better than a good job with a pull through sharpener. Helen Rennie on YouTube has great tutorial vids for beginners. For Nakiris in general, you can get away with a more acute angle as they're mostly just for precise veg cutting

    Otherwise pull through sharpeners will get you an ok edge but remove a lot of material. And you'll end up with a great big gap where the knife can no longer meet the board, which stops you being able to cut, especially with this shape of knife. You can probably get away with not sharpening it for some time if you hone it regularly on a steel.

    It has nothing to do with Germany or Japan.
    This is a low quality made in China knife.

    Often the German or Japanese reference is only to indicate the style, rather than origin. Along the lines of Worcestershire Sauce

    I Have bought a few of these knives and basically they are rubbish, they loose their edge after half a dozen times, the advert sell's, it but they are not as good as they make out, but their a few German knives that are brilliant take Wusthof they are expensive, i paid for similar for £195 about 5 years ago, you get the best what you pay for them and they will last you a life time.

    Good price but as can be seen from the graph above it has recently gone up by some £4 so not a true 30% reduction, more like 15%

    Recommendations for a knife set?
    Damascus / stainless. 
    German / Japanese 

    I have too much mix and match, ranging from Chef Aid to IKEA because I've been too tight. So now I want a good set. I don't care about a block as they'll go into the knife storage in the drawer, and I don't need the scissors or sharpeners. 
    Serious recommendations please, rather than "I saw this set...."
    Potential budget £200. I would like this to be the last set I buy
    Martin_1313's avatar
    I can't help you on a knife set recommendation but if you spend that amount on a set of knives, get a decent magnetic strip for them, chucking them in a drawer will damage the edge.

    Please do your research on steel grades, this isn't good value for money. If it was £10 you could argue at least it's very cheap so it's fine, but for £20 using the same steel as you can find in entire blocks of knives which cost £20 is not a good deal.

    What's the best Nakiri knife I can get under £100
    shlomo0's avatar
    Bit of a tricky price point to buy for, but the Tojiro DP 3s are solid
    knivesandtools.co.uk/en/…3-6

    Bit easier to chip, though, if you're not used to high HRC knives. I'd personally prefer the forged Mercer I linked above for £40, I don't think you really see the benefits above that until you start spending silly money

    It's US centric but lots of good info here
