Enso Hizashi 5.5" Prep Knife

This was one of the most amazing Christmas gifts I’ve ever received. I’ve been using this and the paring knife everyday since I opened the package! This cuts through an onion like a “hot knife through butter”. I am still thrilled with the cutting I can do now. I spent the last 15 years with “make do” knives and now my kids are grown and gone I can have some special, amazing knives that can cut without skipping or dragging. This is well made and feels good in my hand. I love slicing and chopping now, no skipping or dragging! YAY!

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.

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.

This is a great knife for everyday prep.

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.
