The knife arrived in Montenegro in a record seven days. The quality of the workmanship is top-notch, the sharpness too.
Many thanks to the manufacturer and sender of the knife.
Hi,
I wanted to share how satisfied I am with my Sakoda Hamono Gyuto knife. The blade quality is remarkable: the edge is exceptional and it feels perfectly balanced in hand.
It’s a pleasure to use in the kitchen every day, and I plan to take good care of it with regular whetstone sharpening.
Thank you for this wonderful tool!
Best regards

Totally unsatisfied with quality and craftsmanship. Knife is falling apart. Blade detached from handle. Cutting edge not smoothly curved, very wavy. How to return it?

Fantastic knife. Very light and sharp. I love the modern look and the extremely thin blade
Thanks for your kind words, Csaba! We're glad you love the knife's design and sharpness. Enjoy cooking!
This is a life-changing tool. If you've never had a great knife, this is a great place to start. Easy to work with and is able to do things my other knives can't.
Thanks so much, that's exactly what we hope this knife is for people. Enjoy it!

1) the tip of the knife was not shaped (sharpen) properly;
2) the surface of knife was not polished properly , circular traces are very visible;
3) the knife has been bought on sale and 20% off coupon was advertised along wwith the purchase. The coupon has been never provided.
It feels great to work with. Easy to handle, sharp.
Hi Marco, thanks for this! The kurouchi finish is one of our favourites, so it's great to hear it's earning its place in your kitchen.

Great piece of artisanship, and incredible fast shipping. Recommended!
Hi Leonardo, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you're happy with your knife and our shipping service. Enjoy your craftsmanship!
Erittäin hyvä veitsi kaikkeen leikkaamiseen keittiössä. Erityisesti vihannekset ja juurekset saa leikattua todella ohueksi.
Hei Mika,
Kiitos ihanasta arviosta! Juuri tuo ohut viipalointi on se, mihin tämä veitsi on suunniteltu, joten on hienoa kuulla, että se toimii myös juureksilla.
Kiitos, kun valitsit meidät — mukavia hetkiä keittiössä!
I bought a Bunka knife with a broken tip for €183, including €51 in customs duties. This website is a huge scam, beware!
Hi Eddy, we are very sorry to hear about your experience. Thanks for sending us the photos by email previously as well. Sorry again that the knife reached you with a damaged tip. We photograph every knife before it leaves our warehouse and yours was in good condition then, so the damage happened somewhere in transit, and we're taking it up with the carrier. We refunded your order in full, so the amount should appear on your card once your bank processes it, and we've taken care of the rest by email. If anything is still unclear, write to info@japanese-food-craftsman.com and we'll sort it out.

Love the quality and the finish, thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! The finish is what made us fall for this one too, so it's lovely to hear it caught your eye. Enjoy your KISEKI: Santoku!

First: it took three days more from Vienna to me than from Japan to Vienna. Shame on Vienna! Second: the Kiseki knife is really wonderfull.
Thank you for your kind words, Veit! We're glad you love the Kiseki knife. Apologies for the shipping delay, and we appreciate your patience. Enjoy your KISEKI!
Es entspricht voll seinen Erwartungen
Vielen Dank für die fünf Sterne! Viel Freude mit dem Messer.

Super knife. I opened it immediately upon receiving it and sliced a tomato into wafer-thin slices. Wow, incredibly sharp.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Valentyn! We're glad you enjoy the knife's sharpness.
