## Description

Review: Shockingly Good Quality for a $20 Japanese Nakiri - I honestly wasn’t expecting much when I saw a Made in Japan nakiri for around twenty bucks, but the KAI Seki Magoroku Watakake 165mm completely surprised me. First off, the fit and finish are way better than I expected at this price point. The blade came sharper than most knives I’ve bought in the $60–$100 range—clean cuts through tomatoes, peppers, and even tougher veggies like cabbage with zero tearing. The grind is even, and it has that classic nakiri flat profile that makes veggie prep ridiculously fast. The handle is lightweight but comfortable, and the balance feels right where a nakiri should. It’s not a fancy hardwood or anything, but it’s ergonomic and doesn’t get slippery. For a daily-use vegetable knife, that’s really all I need. What surprised me most is how “Japanese” it actually feels in hand. So many budget knives claim to be Japanese-style but are clearly mass-produced elsewhere. This one is actually made in Seki, Japan, and it shows—clean lines, proper edge geometry, and a blade that sharpens up quickly on a whetstone. Is it the flashiest knife? No. But for $20, it’s honestly one of the best values in my kitchen. If you want a true Japanese-made nakiri without spending $100+, this is an absolute no-brainer.
Review: Cheap but fantastic Japanese knife. Not Chinese made garbage cosplaying as Japanese made - Favorite veggie knife I own. If u want a nakiri but don't want to spend a fortune? Get this one. Quality actual Japanese made knife.... Not Japanese style. Sharp as hell right out of the package. If you chop a lot of veggies do yourself a favor and snag this knife. Makes short work even off tough veggies like squash and potatoes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How thick is the spine, in mm?**
A: It is very thin.  I have to sharpen this knife regularly with just a handheld sharpener.  When freshly sharpened it will cut very thin slices of apples or whatever.  I like the knife and it is a go to for most vegetable slicing, dicing etc.  The spine is very thin but sturdy.

**Q: is this made in japan?**
A: This product is made in Japan.

**Q: Does this come with a knife guard for storage?  If not, how wide is knife so right size can be purchased.  Any recommendations on knife guard?**
A: NO! my biggest complaint and it is wide so guard may have to be larger than expected.  I cannot ever remember a knife I have bought coming without a guard.  Blade is wicked sharp so be careful. Open plastic package  at your peril.  Total BS.

**Q: Is this a full tang or partial tang knife?**
A: I don't know for sure.  The handle is one piece, so you cannot see the edges, but there are three rivets that indicate it is a full tang. The knife is very sharp and passes the paper cut test.  I use it every day with no issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light in expensive vegetable knife
*by T***P on November 5, 2022*

The knife is made by a well-known Japanese company. The handle appears to be all plastic. This may not matter, but the description says laminated wood. From the weight and the material, it is not laminated wood. For processing larger vegetables this works very well. For more careful work, a smaller version of the same design is better, but these are not sold by Amazon. The blade is very sharp and can be easily re-sharpened. This is a practical inexpensive knife that is light and easy to handle. I'm not sure of the value for the money, it may last as long as a more expensive knife based upon its design. We are satisfied with the functional value.
