1. Buy this one first
I have begun replacing all the knives I have accumulated over the years, and after much research have decided that the Shun line will do me nicely. Like most folks I cannot buy a whole set all at once, nor do I think I need a whole set, so will be buying them one at a time. The Nakiri knife was my first purchase of the Shun line for several reason's. I first saw it being used on a popular food show and noticed it seemed to be the chef's favorite knife. He could be seen using it for almost every cutting task, slicing, dicing and even light chopping. I decided after some more research to put that knife to the test myself. This is a wonderful all round knife. It will do almost every task you use a knife for. Notice I said almost, there are some specialty tasks that it does not do well, such as boning and filet work. But when slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables it really shines. It is so sharp out of the box that it requires no effort to slice even the harder root veggies. I find the...

2. Chef's favorite knife

If you are cutting vegetables in high volume or just for a dinner for two buy this knife. But only buy it if you are serious about owning one of the finest cutting implements on the market.

This means the knife is SERIOUSLY sharp! However it does not hold its edge as long as a knife with a greater blade angle. This means you MUST use a honing steel every so often.

I'm loving the Japanese knives.
The size and shape of this knife tend to limit its use to smaller chopping jobs, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have, at the very minimum, a good chef's knife, but it's a great addition to a knife set. The knife balances beautifully, the asymmetric handle is an asset, and its sharpness embarrasses German knives.
