*Since each knife is crafted by hand, weight and dimensions might slightly vary for each knife. We ask for your kind understanding.
*Depending on the number of orders and the smithy's situation, shipping the knife out might take up to 3 weeks.
*The knife is made from steel, so there will be a certain amount of rusting over time. Use the included sharpening stone to get rid of the rust. Find an explanation video on knife sharpening on the bottom of this page.
* Depending on the value of your order and local import rules of your country, there might be additional import taxes you have to pay upon arrival of the package.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when ordering this knife. I had seen this Smithys name before, but never personally owned anything from him. I saw the price and figured I would try it out, it can't be too bad.
I was right! This is hands down one of my top favorite knives now. The craftmanship is amazing.. You can see the hand work that went into it, which is what I fell in love with Japanese knives for to begin with. I am so pleased I am about to order 2 more, and another to give away on my Youtube channel. Thank you Japanese Food Craftsmen for offering this knife and this maker, and thank you for the most amazingly packaged item and shipping it to me with such care!
The handcrafted Knife is a dream and can't be beaten.
Super sharp and top workmanship
Absolutely love this knife. For a few years I wanted to own a knife that had been made by hand, now I have one. It cuts amazingly well and is probably the most respected knife I have. I'm not looking forward to sharpening it as I don't think I'll do such a good job as it is now. From purchase through to delivery, I am very happy.
Happy with my purchase
Fast delivery
Please give my sincere regards to Nakamura San and his family. The knife is perfect and exactly what I wanted. Thank you for maintaining this artistic skill and tradition. Best wishes for a healthy and fulfilling life. Thomas
