I have wanted a Nakiri knife but I do not like the typical D shaped handle you find on them. I was already a fan of the Zwilling Pro line and was very excited when they added a Nakiri option. The German forged  blade is super strong and easy to maintain like all Pro blades. The acute angle of the blade gives nice thin straight slices and chops. I love that it still has the curved bolster like the rest of the line for optimal comfort and encouragement of the proper holding of the knife.
