蓑毛鍛冶 三徳包丁 165mm

A traditional knife. I always wanted a traditional knife from a blacksmith where you get a familiar tool. I always preferred Japanese knives; they were global knives. These are industrially manufactured, but they are also very good. But what you get here is a knife with a soul, and that's something very special.

What a great knife! It’s extremely sharp and a little smaller than the utility knife I’m used to using, but it feels comfortable in the hand and makes slicing food much easier. I love the craftsmanship and knowing that this was made by a family of blacksmiths whose business has been making knives since the Edo Period, makes it even more special.

I initially discovered the stories behind these handcrafted knives through a YouTube program. After actually receiving them yesterday, I felt even more deeply that the process from raw materials to the finished knife embodies a wealth of technical expertise, craftsmanship, and dedication to forging! I hope that purchasing these knives will greatly support the knifemakers! I will definitely continue to buy from them in the future!

Great seller

The craftsmanship and old style ways make this Minomo blacksmiths knife very special and very SHARP! Also to watch a video of this very family shop extra special to me. I’ve purchased several Japanese knives over the years and spent 3 times + for some of them, I put this knife above a few of them.
Thank you to the family for sharing your craft.

Amazing service from Japanese Food Craftsman. The item has been shipped from one side of the world to the other in a very effective time frame. Packaging was beautiful with some very kind and thoughtful messages within. The knife is flawless and makes a superb highlight to my kitchen tools. Could not recommend enough. Thank you Japanese Food Craftsman and most importantly thank you Minomo Blacksmith for your amazing skills and craftsmanship.
Diolch yn fawr iawn From Wales!

I ordered two knives, sadly I can only test one, the santoku I ordered is a gift. The nakiri from Nakamura is amazing and the best knife I have yet to own.
Shipping took less than a month from around the world and even the support was very helpful for correcting a mistake I made. Just a heads up: You probably will have to pay import taxes in your respective country but I can guarantee: It's worth it!

This was my boyfriend's Christmas gift. He was absolutely overjoyed when he received it. The quality and engraving are amazing. The packaging is beautiful and thoughtful. He felt bad tearing the pretty wrapping paper. I was happy it had Japanese newspaper as protection for the item. It also comes with instructions inside and cute cards. It took forever to arrive due to shipping issues once it arrived in the states, but the wait was worth it. He hasn't had a chance to use it yet, and he already said it might be a while until he does because it's so special to him. Thank you!!! ありがとうございます！！！

I really love this knife, very well balanced and it’s feels so light in my hand. I am very satisfied with the decision of purchasing this work of art.

Paid for knife and postage. Now have to pay £50 to customs for handling which I will not be doing. Not going to shop here again as no mention of customs control was mentioned yet I buy knives from China without customs charging me ⁉%EF%B8%8F

Great

Blade has multiple chips after literal 1 month of use, cutting vegetables…handle is incredibly cheap and an unfinished piece of wood. Not in a good way. Do not recommend.

Knife is amazing, great craftsmanship!

Quality Craftsmanship, shipping was fast from Japan to the States. Will buy from Minomo again.

I received the Minomo Santoku knife. It is a beautiful knife that arrive quite sharp. Highly recommended! I also order the Tokyo Rainbow Spice flavor box. Spices are fantastic. Also recommend this 100%. Also very happy with Mari and her help. Great experience all around.

Minomo Blacksmith Pack (End of April shipment)

I've been anxious to receive the knife as soon as it shipped, and having it in my hands did not disappoint!
It is a beauty, both in form and function. Better than most other commercial chef's knifes out there and, honestly, the price is a steal.
I picked the engraved option. Seeing the care and attention put into each knife in the featured video, and now having a personalized piece of that magic is otherwordly.
I've only been using it for a week, so I can't be more in depth, however it has not disappointed. It is surprisingly light. It cuts well, dices well, chops well, even breaks down chickens well!
The wood feels quite porous and unvarnished, so make sure it's kept dry after washing!
