For anyone not familiar, nakiris are primarily intended as vegetable knives, made for straight up and down chopping. For something more general-purpose, you'd want a santoku or gyuto (or a Chinese cleaver).

Just about to post the same thing. Add a filler for a buck or two, and that's a good deal for a stamped knife. I have their hollow edge santoku that's similar quality, and it's not bad at all.
You don't need a filler item to take advantage of the credit. Amex will still give it to you.

Huh, I just assumed you had to spend at least $50, which is really easy at Saks! Thanks, good to know.

Is this better than my Walmart kitchen knife
Depends on what you bought from Walmart. Some of the tramontinas are decent. I've got several Kiwis that all were around $7 each that work well in the kitchen and touch up instantly. Expensive is almost never necessary to get the job done with simple cutting tools. Victorinox and Mora are a couple of the most popular brands globally for a reason.

When I want to be fancy I use one of my custom purchases, I prefer the edge holding of the CPM154 & XHP steel in them. Never found VG10 to be all that interesting, not as good as super gold in edge holding, which is already not a high bar. Also doesn't have appreciable chip resistance at thin geometries. Gotta say magnacut in edc really has been very good in terms of wear resistance, toughness, and stain resistance. Probably going to be the steel of choice for my next boner and/or chef.

You have to either mail it or bring it to their place in Tualatin, Oregon

I tried the Chinese cleaver style knives and didn't like them. I'm used to the rolling action of cutting as opposed to cutting straight down.

Saying that, I have 2 Shun knives that are my go-to's in the kitchen.

What's difference between the posted one and this one in terms of quality? I like the premier gray handle.

It's the same knife just the one in the post is hammered to look nicer and should be more money.
