Wonderful Knife, the best i ever Had
Hi Bernd! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Shirou Kunimitsu Gyuto. Thank you for your kind words and support!
Ein sehr schönes Messer!
Super scharf und liegt klasse in der Hand!
Versand ging sehr gut und schnell!
Zollgebühren von etwa 40 Euro kamen noch dazu. Dankeschön !
Hallo Heiko,
vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Schön zu hören, dass das Messer gut schneidet und gut in der Hand liegt – genau so soll es sein. Die Zollgebühren werden leider direkt vom Zoll erhoben, da haben wir keinen Einfluss drauf. Viel Spaß beim Kochen!
Esthetically beautiful with the charming feeling of handmade craftsmanship.
Hi Veit,
Thank you — 'a little jewel' is a lovely way to put it. Each piece is blown by hand, so no two come out quite the same. Glad it found a good home.
Great knife. Good handle and grip on this one. My new favorite in the kitchen
Hi Filip,
We're really pleased to hear the handle and grip work well for you. That's what makes the 100mm petty such a useful addition to a kitchen. Small enough for detail work, but with enough blade to earn its place. Enjoy it!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you love the blade and its performance. Greetings from Japan, The Japanese Food Craftsman Team
I got a short Gyuto from this craftsman because I really enjoyed the YT video. The family seems like super nice people that take a lot of pride and care in making cutlery and it really shows in the quality of the knife. The hand written 'thank you' and wrapped box really meant a lot when I received it. It is one of my go to favorite knives in my kitchen.
Hi Eric, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you love the knife and the story behind it. We will be pleased to send your positive feedback over to Minomo Blacksmith! Thank you once again for your support.

I was very disappointed with the overall fit and finish. Ofcourse I was not expecting the same level of refinement as a Tetsujin Hamono knife, but this piece appears unfinished. The workmanship is well below what I expected from a maker with decades of experience. If Nakamura-san considers this representative of his finished work, then I have serious concerns about the level of quality control. The choil is ruff and sharp, sharp enough to cut my finger. The handle isnt fit to the furrule and the spine is uneven and not flat
Hi Kevin, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that this knife did not meet your expectations.
As discussed in our email correspondence, we understand your concerns regarding the fit and finish of your particular knife. Because each knife is handcrafted one by one, slight variations between pieces are inevitable. However, if a customer ever receives a knife with workmanship that falls short of their expectations, we always want to make it right.
In this case, we offered a full refund upon return of the knife, and we are pleased that we were able to reach a satisfactory resolution together.
We take product quality and customer satisfaction very seriously, and while handmade products naturally exhibit some variation, we stand behind every item we sell. If any customer is ever unhappy with the quality of their purchase, we encourage them to contact us directly so that we can work together to find an appropriate solution.

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!
Hi Chin chia Hsu, thank you so much for this review as well, and for your continued support. Looking forward to serving you again soon!
