    Good price for very useful knife

    This 5.5 in prep knife is just what I was looking for to fill out my knife rack. It is sharp, good looking and cuts veggies and other foods with ease. It has a thin blade and would not be for heavy duty cutting, but since most of my cutting and slicing is lighter duty it is perfect.

    Beautiful and functional

    I was using an 8 inch chefs knife regularly, but it was a little large for the work I was doing. The smaller prep knife is excellent for what I do. Plus the quality of Enso is immediately noticed. Highly recommended.

    Great medium sized all around prep knife

    Wonderful gift for my mother in law. She said it fits her hands perfectly. Craftmanship and quality for the price was excellent. I handled the knife a bit and love the size as a prep knife to pair with a larger chef knife. Fit and finish on the handle was flawless.

    My New #1 Knife

    Advanced home cook with decent knife skills here.

    I instantly fell in love with this knife - literally from the moment I pulled it out of the box and held it. I've had it two weeks now, and it's become my go-to #1. The feel, the handle, the sharpness, the shape, great steel; all make for a knife that is useful for many tasks and a pleasure to use. It's tomato season, and this knife is ideal for slicing and chopping tomatoes. It literally slid right through the peel with just a slight push, and it felt like gravity alone was doing the work. It's nimble like a parer but long enough for other kinds of work.

    There's a good amount of knuckle clearance when working on a cutting board. I just went through a few cucumbers for a cucumber salad in no time. The knife nimbly and quickly produced nice, uniform, thin cucumber slices. I usually use a mandolin slicer for my cucumber salad, but this knife made it not worth getting out the mandolin.

    It's literally the most perfect knife I've ever used. It is my first exposure to a bunka style knife and I like it so much, I just ordered the 7" Enso Hizashi 7" bunka. (The prep knife is a small bunka, after all.) I don't think this knife would disappoint anyone when used for its intended tasks.
