Inexpensive nakiri
Darwin:
I usually believe you get what you pay for, but sometimes I get surprised. I purchased a Winco , medium, Stainless Steel Nakiri style knife for $13 last year and I really like it. I gave it a few minutes on a honing steel and leather strop to get it right. I use it daily and smile ever time I pick it up.
BigDave83:
I never knew about that style until the MilkStreet guy showed up on my facebook. It looked interesting.
I have a set of the cheap Henkels Santuko I think one is 5" and one is maybe 8" I use the 5" one a lot for my vegetables. Had thought about one of the Nakiri designs.
Canadian John:
If you can get by the craftsmanship & brand names, there are some good finds out there.
A knife to me should fit well in the hand, cut well, maintain an edge reasonably well & be easily sharpened.
pmillen:
The nakiri is one of the oldest, most continually used knives in Japan. It's a simple, double-bevel, rectangular blade, typically between 6½ and 7 inches. It's almost like a cleaver that's short from spine to edge. The name translates to vegetable knife, and it’s great for that use and not so great for anything else.
Show us a photograph of yours, Darwin.
Darwin:
it could easily be called a Chinese cleaver also.
