中村刃物 黒打 菜切包丁 180mm

My new kitchen helper is way more than what I have expected. The hand crafted Nakiri is not just a piece of art of the highest quality, but a clear testiment of traditional japanese craftmanship perfection.

Amazing. I'm shocked every time I use this knife. It's that good.

Nice ty

Love the knife, functional and meaningful knowing that it is made by extra-ordinary craftsmen. Enjoy using it a great deal.
Full disclosure - these are not complaints, just 2 points to note - the knife did arrive with rust on it, and after first gentle wash, rinse and dry, rusty spots were still present, but having googled, realised that some lemon juice soak and wipe did fix it, so maintenance is key. Secondly, the order comes with free stone, but we don't actually need it, so it would be great if it can be an optional thing as the weight and cost do add to the overall shipment and hence increase the un-necessary import tax and duties - in other words, I would have opted for not having the complimentary stone to also save on extra import duties charges incurred because of the extra weight and cost listed to have included the heavy stone.
Again these are not complaints, just points for continuous improvements, I would be happy to buy again from your store. Many thanks again and keep up all your great work on YT!

What a beautiful and functional knife. It is a work of art as well as being a great kitchen tool. I was so impressed with the quality of the knife I bought another different one and intend over time to get a full set for every purpose. These will become family heirloom passed down to my children.

Great service and a very well crafted knife.

Absolutely love this knife!!! It cuts so cleanly and requires very little care. Someone commented on the change in color, I recommend you clean it well after every use and dry it immediately. I also bought a 2nd as a gift and my coworker absolutely LOVED IT!!! I sincerely enjoy cutting with it and hope to use it for many more years to come.

Thx Mari it’s all good.

Knives are awesome. Razor sharp and well made additions to my kitchen.

This has been a very positive experience!
The knives are made in a very traditional way, just what I was looking for. The steel is excellent, the sharpening too, the wa-handle very nicely made and fitted.I own already about 15 Japanese knives, from very expensive to affordable ones. Nakamura Hamono knives didn't disappoint me at all, it's a real pleasure using them, they are well balanced and just "feel good" in my hands.Of course, shipping and packaging were on a high level too.
I warmly recommend Nakamura Hamono if you are looking for excellent traditional knives, without gimmicks, but with real quality!

C'est un très bon couteau. Sa finition est bien réalisée et son tranchant excellent. Il n'y a rien à redire sur sa dureté. Le seul bémol que je regrette, c'est la ligne de soudure entre les deux aciers qui n'est pas aussi visible que sur la photo. Je vais sûrement le revendre parce que ce ne sera pas mon coup de cœur, malheureusement.

I just bought two of their knives, a 165mm Santouku and 180 mm Bunka and love them both. These craftsman knives will occupy a treasured place in the kitchen. Customer service and shipping were excellent, although US Customs tariffs added $77 to the total cost.

Great presentation of artisan skills

Hi, I received my knife in france in about 2week reel well packed. Little origami and card, description about Nakamura homono top. The Nakiri knife is.a beautiful peace of man's craft it cuts perfectly, so thin and light a amazing sensation to use. I enjoy it a lot thanks M. NAKAMURA and son for your work. I'm looking water your curved bunka maybe my futur order. ありがとうございます

If the character of a blade were heavy, you would not be able to lift these knives. Like everyone else, I saw the You Tube video of the construction in Japan of these wonderful knives. They are genuine works of masters. Until you hold one and see how the San Mai steel shows through and feel the smooth yet so slightly rough natural handles, no one could express their quality. You can see each of the power hammer strikes and I would describe them as razor sharp. (I collected Gerber knives for over 40 years... so yes, I know sharp.) The balance in the hand and at the pinch point is indescribably satisfying. I am honored to own the three I have purchased and I shall own more. Simplicity with abundant character. Thank you.

5 Star quality, love it!

I had the absolute best possible experience!!!

Love my new knife. I could not be more pleased. Thank you

Love the knife! Beautiful craftsmanship and proud to own and show it off! Would definitely by another one! The only thing I could say negative is that it could be a little sharper out of the box! After a good sharpening it's very nice to use! I recommend!

Received my knife today. Looks amazing, can't wait to use it.

I have bought another knife from Japanese Food Craftsman Shop, perfect again.
Very sharp and a pleasure to work with in the kitchen.
Always good and fast shipping.
Japanese Food Craftsman Shop is highly recommended, I’ll buy some more in the future.
Best regards,
Carl

I received the knives in a timely fashion and am extremely pleased with them. These are the second and third knives I have purchased from Nakamura-san and I love the knives. They are not for display, but for daily use and the are super sharp. I just finished thinly slicing onions for a dish we are making and the nakiri is so comfortable to use. It makes me feel like my knife skills are better, but it is just the knife. Thank you Nakamura Hamono for your dedication to your craft and your customers. Best wishes for the future.

Since Long time I love sharp knifes for Cooking.By thr way, I am maxillo facial surgeon so my affinity to real sharp knifes is professionel.
I am happy with the new knife you sent me and more, I am happy with the grindstone and your advices for perfect usage.
I am thinking about buying more of your beautiful range of products.
So , Sincerely your

I was looking specifically for a few knives that were more rustic in manufacturing and ultimate presentation - and settled on this maker after watching several vids online.I’ve made quite a few knives here…not the forging but the handles and finishing. I wanted a single craftsman item and that describes this. You won’t find silver inlays or mother of pearl. But you will find excellent balance, incredible sharpness and a lifelong tool as long as you do your part to maintain it. I’m very impressed.
