Too small for a Nakiri, maybe small Veg prep. 7/8 in is better cutting surface suited for a Nakiri. Just some food for thought

Looks like there is a 7" nakiri for $79.95

It's a great deal on an excellent forged knife, there's no denying that. I just want people to be aware that 5 inches is not as practical or comfortable as 7 inches on a Nakiri

Question for all cook foodies. Does high end cutlery usually sold in separate pieces or do they sell more inexpensive by buying sets?

The handle is small and light compared to the metal part that I feel all the weight going forward.

Nakiri are very thin and have no tip, so they're best for specific types of vegetables but would be horrible for trimming meats or slicing anything. Keep looking for a chef knife or gyuto. 8-9 inches is good. If prefer to rock-chop, look for western designs with a bigger belly (Zwilling, Wusthof, Victorinox, Mercer, etc.), and if you prefer chop-chopping, look for a Japanese knife with a straighter bladed (Tojiro, Shun, Miyabi, etc.)

Here's an example of each type to compare shapes.

Most information I've read indicates that starting with just a chef's knife and a paring knife is the way to go. The knife sets seem like a good deal, but usually have several pieces that don't get used much.

Quote from CalmSoda260 :
Someone else had pointed it out before but I also saw it when I sorted the clearance section. I ordered one as well. Looks like great design and light and fierce, I hope it lives up to expectations.
I ended up ordering the Twin Fin because the wife said it looked really nice. I asked about the Wusthof but she said it looked boring. I guess the design really does sell, but I hope it's still a good knife.

Personally I think we both would have preferred a 5" version of the Twin Fin. The problem with every popular knife deal is that they're usually too big. Splitting large items just isn't really that common of a kitchen task for us and having a smaller, flat knife is more useful. We can use our big knives when we actually have to cut a watermelon or something. We both prefer slicing over rocking and the 5" Wusthof has a longer straight area than 8" western chef knives. The point is just useless area for me.

I'll probably end up ordering the 5" Wusthof if it stays on sale after we receive the Twin Fin. Sometimes bigger is not better.

haha, I ended up ordering both. I am with you. They also have a 3.5 or 4 inch twin fin paring knife on sale and if that is still on sale when I receive the others and I like it and the handle I might bite the bullet and get myself my first real good paring, something I totally neglected so far. I had ordered the legend and then contacted them to change back to the 5" for same use case. I already have plenty larger Knives.

My wife who does a lot of food prep thinks our Shun Premier 5" Nakiri is perfect.
Different strokes for different folks.

This is a great deal. Wish it was on the Ikon as I'd be getting one for my daughter.

Love all the people who think this is useless because you have to use 2 cuts instead of 1 to cleave a head of cabbage or lettuce. I haven't cut a head of cabbage or lettuce in over a decade. Don't like them. I cut alot of fingerling potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, etc. Things much smaller than a head of lettuce, and this seems like a good option to me. I have a 7" Nakiri and was just thinking it was ridiculously too big to be useful.

They will sell you a set, but its very expensive. $500 floor for Wusthoff classic set last time I checked, for the smaller set, and they go up from there. Its not cheaper to buy a set unless you plan to buy that level of knife for everything.

It is alot easier/cheaper to buy a chef's knife first, then add to the set as you need different knives. Especially since (in all likelihood) you won't like one of the knives as well, and will want to go buy a replacement.

You also are likely to find you don't use certain knife styles alot. I have I a big 9" bread knife I got at some discount outlet for $5. I cut bread that requires that style of bread knife once a month, at most, so I have never upgraded it. If I'd bought a set I'd have a $50-$100 bread knife I hardly use vs $5.

Any thoughts on which has the better steel... the 5" Wusthof Classic or the 6.5" Wusthof twin fin?
