I recently bought this Enso Hizashi 5.5” prep knife as I had a very positive experience with its big brother Hizachi Bunka knife. I wanted a prep knife, otherwise known as a petty knife, with a higher blade height of 1.6”. This is much higher than the typical petty knife. This gives more clearance for chopping and slicing.
The VG10 steel delivers a very sharp blade, and the 1.6mm spine also gives a nice feeling of being very solid and not delicate, just like its big brother.
You can’t go wrong in the looks department either. The hammered Tsushime and polished Damascus finish is a real looker too. Rockwell hardness of 91 is great as well.
Does a great job with prep work on cucumbers, onions and tomatoes.
Enso delivers again with a great performing and looking knife for a great price which I can highly recommend!
CACutlery and More1 week agoThe Enso Hizashi 5.5" really is the perfect little brother to the Bunka! Sounds like you've got a great pair of knives that complement each other perfectly. Thanks for the detailed review and your photos!

THIS IS A TREASURE AND A GO-TO FOR SMALL JOBS THAT ARE TEDIOUS TO HANDLE. IT MAKES EASY WORK OF DICING SHALLOTS AND OTHER SIMILARLY UNWIELDY MINIATURE INGREDIENTS.
- BLBobbie L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoBest knife ever
This knife is my favorite. It’s extremely sharp, a great size for everyday use, and handles really well….super comfortable in my hand. I worked in restaurants for years so I have many knives. Cutlery and more is great to deal with. Delivery is surprisingly fast. This is my fourth knife purchase from Cutlery and More and I am very pleased with all of them.

Absolutely one of my favorite knives I own. The blade is sharp & remains sharp, making extended periods of cutting easier on my hands. The handle is comfortable and easy for me to grip. I was able to find an affordable sheath at a kitchen supply store and I pack this knife with me for every job!
