Страхотен нож! Никога не съм използвал толкова хубав нож. Много съм благодарен на Minomo blacksmith за изработката и за гравурата! Винаги съм мечтал за такъв автентичен нож от Япония. Пожелавам им успех и още много доволни клиенти! Още веднъж благодаря 😄
Anatoli Kirov,
Благодарим ви много за положителния отзив и за подкрепата към Minomo Blacksmith! Надяваме се ножът ви да ви служи добре в продължение на години. Поздрави от Япония, екипът на Japanese Food Craftsman
Dieses Messer ist mein erstes in der Preisklasse, habe es gekauft weil ich als Maschinenbautechniker weiß wie gut Hartmetall schneidet. Die ersten Tage bestätigten das. Der zweite Grund für Kiseki war das es nur auf den besten Werkzeugmaschinen gefertigt wird, siehe Film
Stefan Allmang,
vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und dafür, dass Sie Fukuda Hamono mit Ihrem Kauf unterstützt haben! Es ist großartig, Feedback von jemandem zu erhalten, der mit dem Material vertraut ist, aus dem diese Messer hergestellt werden! Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass es Ihnen bisher gute Dienste geleistet hat, und hoffen, dass dies auch in Zukunft so bleibt. Viele Grüße aus Japan, Ihr Japanese Food Craftsman Team
I received the knife, very well packaged. I've tried it out and the cutting is incredible. Congratulations to the craftsman and his family.

I can’t give an advice because more than 2 month after order the item is not yet in my possession.Next order will wait …Thinking of asking for refund.
Dear Khoi Nguyen Luong,
Thank you for supporting Fukuda Hamono with your purchase. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the KISEKI knives, orders have been taking a couple months to ship out from the time of your order. We are terribly sorry for the wait, but we do hope you find that this special knife will be well worth the wait. Please feel free to contact us via email at info@japanese-food-craftsman.com with your order details and we can track your package to find out its current location and estimate how much longer it might take to reach you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This knife is so incredibly sharp. It cuts through tomatoes like they are softened butter. Lettuce so thinly you have to see it to believe it. It doesn't matter what kind of knife you owned before. This one is absolutely 💯 % the best one there is.
Dear Andrew Pauli,
Thank you for supporting Fukuda Hamono with your purchase and for your positive review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying this truly unique knife. We hope that it serves you well for many years to come!

Luigi Vitali,
Grazie per aver sostenuto Fukuda Hamono con il vostro acquisto. A causa dell'enorme popolarità dei coltelli KISEKI, la spedizione degli ordini richiede alcuni mesi dal momento dell'ordine. Siamo davvero spiacenti per l'attesa, ma speriamo che questo coltello speciale valga la pena di aspettare. Non esitate a contattarci via e-mail all'indirizzo info@japanese-food-craftsman.com con i dettagli del vostro ordine e potremo tracciare il vostro pacco per scoprire la sua posizione attuale e stimare quanto tempo potrebbe impiegare per arrivare a destinazione. Grazie per la vostra pazienza e comprensione. Il team di Japanese Food Craftsman
Technicall spoken: top of the Bill.
Beautifull packed.
Very good customer satisfaction!
As I knife specialist I See 3 improvements
Points of improvement:
- Really missed a technicall leaflet with at least an indication about hardness HR…. and metal
composition/ mix (competitors can analyse easy)
- my knife was sent as a urgent delivery, thanks for that Kei!!!, but documentation was in Japanese.
- the most important improvement, never, never combine a top product, at this price level, with plastic appearance!!! This is really killing for the whole western European market.
- Please introduce a pairing knife. It would be an honor to give my opinion/test a proto type.
Many thanks,
Eric
Dear Eric,
Thank you for supporting Fukuda Hamono with your purchase, and also for your honest review and points to improve! While we include an English-language information sheet with each package, we sincerely apologize if we somehow managed to ship your package without one! Please feel free to contact us if you need any specific information. We will also be sure pass your other feedback on to the manufacturer. As we understand it, the materials used to craft the handle were designed to improve its durability and ease of use with less maintenance, although we completely understand if appearance-wise it might not suit many knife enthusiasts' tastes. Thank you for the honest feedback and for your support! We hope you find the knife as pleasant to use as it is designed to be!

The package was beautifully wrapped and the items arrived safely. The knife box was very beautiful and the inside packaging was lovely. I tried the knife on some onions and potatoes and it cut them like cheese. Very sharp and beautiful well crafted handle. I could not stop talking about how smooth the knife cuts and its effortless. I let my wife have a go and she was very impressed with the sharpness. My sincere thanks to the team and yes I will return to buy other knives. It was worth the wait.I will be visiting Japan in 2026 and will make it to come and visit you in person to thank you as well.
Dear Chris Raman,

How would I give you review when I don’t have the item
Dear Maggie Yonan,
Thank you for letting us know that you are still waiting to receive your package. We have been in contact with the carrier and they informed us that they are experiencing delivery delays at this time. Our guess is that this could be related to the busy holiday season. Nevertheless, we apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you please keep us updated by email at info@japanese-food-craftsman.com if you do not receive your package in the next few days.
Thank you once again for supporting Japanese craftsmen and for your patience with the shipping challenges.

My order was received without problem. The packages came without problems. I am very happy with my order and service. One thing I wish I knew beforehand was that the amount of the custom tax (USA). I knew I had to pay, but I was not informed about the amount.
Dear Kyle Han,
Thank you for your review and for supporting Japanese craftsmen! We are very sorry for the issue with US tariffs. After the new tariffs were first implemented, a lot of changes have happened and the amount customers have been charged has varied widely, and in fact has changed in the past month. This has made it very difficult for us to give US customers an accurate estimate. Although the amount of customs duties are beyond our control, we are working on better informing our US customers as we learn more information. If you do not mind, please contact us via email at info@japanese-food-craftsman.com with any details of what you were asked to pay in customs duties. This information will help us better inform US customers in the future. Once again, thank you for supporting Shirou Kunimitsu and we are sorry to hear about the issues with customs.

The knife I have purchased is good, I expected a better handle on it as this one seems very ordinary.

I love working with a knife that is both a tool and a work of art. This is both.
Love it. Don't love tariff and customs fees but that is NOT the fault of this fine company.

In Danish: Jeg har modtaget kniven. Den er fremragende. Jeg kunne dog ønske mig , at der på boksen stod hjemmeside og mail på producenten. Det var noget indviklet at finde data for min Trustpilot anmeldelse. På den oprindelige faktura stod at prisen var inklusiv moms. Efter pakken havde været i den danske told, blev der pålagt moms igen. Hvorfor?
Kære Flemming Keldebaek,
Tak for din anmeldelse og for at støtte Fukuda Hamono med dit køb! Tak også for din ærlige feedback vedrørende emballagen og oplysningerne om producenten. Hvad angår moms, kan jeg ikke se, at du er blevet opkrævet moms fra vores side. Du er velkommen til at kontakte os på japanesefoodcraftsmanshop@gmail.com, hvis du har yderligere spørgsmål vedrørende de afgifter, du er blevet opkrævet, og vi vil se, om der er noget, vi kan gøre for at hjælpe. Tak endnu en gang for din støtte!

Hello.
The order arrived without any problems or damage.
The knife is very good, maybe the engraving is a little too scattered.
The knife blade is very sharp, the layers of steel and iron are clearly visible.
The whole thing looks very raw, but this is the type of knife I was looking for.
I wanted to get a handmade knife, not a machine-made knife.
I can say that I am very pleased with the purchase.
Please convey my bows and thanks to the master blacksmith.
Adam
Dear Adam,
Thank you so much for your purchase and for your nice review! We are glad to hear that you are happy with your order and that you appreciate the craftsmanship and tradition that go into each and every piece. Of course a handcrafted knife is going to have a different aesthetic and overall feel than a mass-produced machine knife, including some degree of individual variation. Thank you once again for supporting Japanese craftsmen and their craft!
