Hello!I haven’t received my order. DHL send me an email they said I have to paid 38.22 so they can deliver my order
I did, I paid and still haven’t received my order
Received our knife and we could hardly wait to use it! It is a work of art, and will be a jewel in our kitchen. I am confident that it will not be our last knife from these highly respected craftsmen. Keep up the tradition of making excellent tools!
Beautiful knife!!! The work of true craftsman at Minomo Blacksmith. Very proud to own this knife. And a huge thanks to everyone at Japanese Food Craftsman for working through the international shipping issues to the US. It took some time but they they kept good communication and made sure the knife got to me. Thanks again for all your help! Look forward to purchasing more from you.
I received my knife, but the tip of the knife was bending
Dear Anders Mogensen,
Thank you for your purchase and for your review! Thank you also for your feedback - thin knives made from soft iron in this price range (so on the less expensive side of the spectrum) tend to have blades that are thin and easily bendable. The knife nevertheless has a strong steel core (white steel Shirogami #2).
Traditional handcrafted Japanese kitchen knives will certainly be very different from the commercial stainless steel knives many of us are used to, and require a little bit of TLC and time to get used to. For example, it is important to remember that these knives are strong against vertical impact, but weak against horizontal force, so take care to protect it from horizontal impact. Please do feel free to contact us again should you have any questions about how to properly care for/use your knife!
Thank you once again for supporting Japanese craftsmen!
Greetings from Japan,
The Japanese Food Craftsman Team
