Cleaver Chef Knife with Herb Stripper, 7" Asian Kitchen Knife

Fabulous knife! Very sharp, lightweight but balanced and comfortable. Sliced a raw Yukon potato easily without sticking and made it seem like butter. I love this knife!

Solid feeling build. Sharp. Glides through everything I’ve cut with it. Less sticking of cut items, than other knives.

I like it a lot. not too heavy, very sharp and smart herb feature. very good quality.

I am not a professional when it comes to cooking but I love a good knife for my meal prep. This knife was super sharp out of the box and has a good weight to it. I have only gotten to use it a few times as of yet but I can tell that it is well made and looks amazing. After using it for the first time, I could tell that the knife is sturdy and easy to handle. I have gotten rid of my other knife set and am going to purchase the remaining knifes I need for my kitchen.

Very nice knife. Comfortable feel and very sharp. Just the right size for 7 inch.

It isn't Damascus steel and it isn't an expensive knife. With that said, at its price point the blade is sharp and overall esthetically pleasing. A nice cleaver to try before investing in a pricier blade. I'm a chief knife guy so this clever maybe all I care to use. It is comfortable in the hand.

I am a retired chef.This knife is awesome.super sharp,sturdy,great features,great purchase.

This Nakiri is a BEAST – Slices Paper Like Butter & Turns Heads in the Kitchen!I’m not a pro chef, just a home cook who loves sharp tools, and the SYOKAMI 7.2 Inch Japanese Nakiri is straight-up dangerous in the best way. Out of the box, I did the classic paper test—held up a sheet of printer paper and let the blade fall. Clean, effortless slice. No drag, no tear, just shhhhk. I actually laughed out loud. My wife walked in and said, “Whoa, what is that?!” Instant compliments.Razor Sharp & Scary Good: Cuts onions like they owe it money. Juliennes carrots into perfect matchsticks without crushing. Even herbs? One gentle rock and it’s a chiffonade party. Handle & Balance: The ergonomic grip is chef’s kiss. Fits my hand (medium-large) perfectly—secure even when wet. The weight distribution is spot-on; it feels alive, not heavy. I’ve used it for 45-minute prep sessions with zero fatigue.Build Quality: High-carbon Japanese steel—takes and holds an edge. Full tang, seamless fit. Comes with a protective sheath (smart touch). Bonus: Looks stunning on the counter. Matte black blade + wood handle = kitchen flex.If you want a Nakiri that performs like a $200+ knife but costs way less, this is it. I’m already planning to gift one. SYOKAMI, you’ve got a fan for life.

Awesome knife! It’s very sharp, has a great design, and looks awesome. It works perfectly and feels like a great-quality product. I’m very happy with this purchase definitely a great buy!

UPDATE: I was contacted by Syokami regarding my purchase and sent me the Syokami 2 in 1 Cleaver Knife. This Cleaver Knife has a good weight once you pick it up. Definitely you get the feeling that this knife means business. I used the front end to slice chicken the other day. Automatically, I noticed a huge difference and upgrade to say the least. The chicken was already cooked but it was able to dice and slice it in no time with lighting precision. Very impressed. Since this is larger than the previous knife and it has a much larger blade, you just need to be mindful and take your time when cutting meats or bones. I appreciate the customer service from Syokami as they very much stand behind their product as well as providing excellent customer service. (The picture of the Cleaver is at the very end). Not sure where to start with this. Saw a few ads about different Japanese style Kitchen Knives. I need one especially when cutting meat. Vegetables, herbs etc. I was impressed when I came across the Syokami knife with the herb stripper. Seemedile.a pretty decent knife for a decent price. The presentation in terms of the box as well as packaging is quite nice. I immediately wanted to use this so I had taken out a whole chicken, with skin. (defrosted). After washing and drying the knife, I immediately went to work. In my opinion, the knife struggle to add slits into the chicken. I had to try a few times and even still, the cut wasn't amazing as well as the depth wasn't what I wanted.or expected. I tried with chicken drumsticks, with skin another day and the results were the same. My butcher knife would of been better suited. I'm sure when it comes to vegetables and herbs, this is amazing. But for meats, any meats really, you need something sharper and perhaps a bit more expensive. Thanks so much for reading—happy shopping!

Arrived in good condition and sharp. Used it the same day, very happy with the knife.

Leave it or not my $400 knife just disappeared. Couldn’t understand where it could’ve gone. So I thought I would go for a couple of cheaper knives and this was the one that I chose, and the other one I chose was a two pack of a different brand. This has got to be my favourite knife of all time. It is super Duper super sharp, very effective with heavy duty work like turnips, squashes of all kinds. Cut through it like butter. And the quality and feel in the weight unbelievable. And it looks absolutely amazing.

Quality seems very good but knife was totally dull. ! Cost me $10 to have sharpened.
