This is a perfect marriage of the quality and design. A nakiri should be sturdy, stable and the Pro line steel is just that. This high quality, German, stainless steel blade will hold up for a lifetime. And requires little maintenance, just weekly honing (see the 2-stage sharpeners if you are timid about honing) and at most, an annual sharpening. 

It has an angled bolster, a new design features that matches the grip of professional chef's.  It keeps the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control.
