You can buy better knives, but Katanas are nice and balanced and hold an edge well. I really enjoy using them and this model is great for chopping veggies and as a general purpose knife. Mine was about $30 shipped.

I bought this knife recently and was surprised by what I got for [...] bucks. It is aesthetically pleasing (the wood grain pattern of the steel makes it look like a much more expensive knife), solidly made, and really really sharp, like, you can shave with it. The handle flares wide at the butt-end and flattens on top to accommodate the heel of your palm. Love the design, way beyond satisfied with the quality.

I was pretty excited about getting this knife. I like the brand and I expected the best quality. It is good steel and well designed. It would be a very nice knife wxcept that the cutting edge is not straight. It is wavy which results in the edge not touching the cutting surface evenly. The knife must be drawn over the cutting surface to cut completly through the object being cut. Even though the knife is made in China, I expected better quality from Calphalon. When I registered this with the company I commented on this issue and received no response.
Mystery Nakiri Knife March 27, 2008

I found this knife while browsing on the Amazon site. I have yet to see any reference to a 5" Katana nakiri knife on the Calphalon site. This is maybe my sixth Katana knife, and I really love each of them. I have not had any of the rusting problems mentioned in several reviews. The knives out of the box are the sharpest I have seen. I really like the balance and the wide tapered bolster, which helps remind the user to grip these knives properly. I generally clean my knives fairly shortly after use, but it seems that is the best way to care for good cookware and cutlery. The size and balance of this smaller nakiri is excellent, and it is a great vegetable mini-cleaver. The nakiri lends itself to a slightly forward stroke when slicing and chopping, and it works fine. The price is way out of line on the low side compared with other Katana knives. I have been buying and using them on a piecemeal basis, and I really like each knife I have bought with the exception of the serrated slicing knife. For some reason, it seemed to shred delicate items rather than saw cleanly. I returned it. The first one I got was the 6" chef's knife, and it has been one of the best short chef knives I have ever used. It has maintained its very sharp edge for well over a year, and, again, not a hint of rust problems. Other than the serrated knife, I would recommend any of those I have bought and used, including the 8" chef knife, the 3.5" paring knife, the 9" bread knife, and the 5.5 inch honesuki.
