Harukaze AS Morado Nakiri 165mm. This maker has been a great addition for our site. They offer a nicely priced range of products with good steels and nice cutting action. It's not easy to find a knife using AS edge steel at this price and finish level. I highly recommend this one.

I've got 4 Harukaze AS knives now, a Gyuto, Petty, Nakiri and a Morado. This Nakiri is by far my favorite of the 4. They are all superb quality, sharpness and feel but this one just feels the best in my hand. Only disclaimer is be careful when you sharpen it, as it's very easy to scratch the finish.

This is a beautiful knife. The handle is incredible and the 3 layers are incredible to look at. I would say sharpness was a 6/10 but sharpened quickly. The only downside is that it is a little thick behind the edge. It doesn't fall through food as easily as other knives I own. That being said I thinned and resharpened and now it is incredible.
