This is my third knife purchased through Japanese Food Craftsman. The Nanohi Omnio Damascus Kiritsuke is by far the best out of all the beautiful and functional knives I have purchased. The finishing and handling is quite magnificent. This knife is not only superbly functional and balance but a work of traditional art. I would recommend anyone wanting top quality cooking knives to buy one. It will not be the last I buy from them.

This is the fourth Gyuto in my collection and I am delighted with it. A stunning blade, at 225 mm it is longer than my other three at 210 mm and it is noticeably heavier but remains beautifully balance in the hand. The handle is nicely finished and feels premium and suits the knife perfectly. It's a lot of knife and deserves to be let loose on the bigger jobs. Thank you Nigara Hamano!
Hi Mark, we're thrilled to hear you're delighted with your Nigara Hamono Gyuto! It sounds like a fantastic addition to your collection, and we're glad the balance and handle meet your expectations. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for choosing Japanese Food Craftsman Shop! We hope to help you again soon!

Love the kurouchi finish on the blade, not so keen on the handle. It has a round handle rather than an octagonal handle which I prefer and the acrylic ferrule feels excessively plasticky which is of course what acrylic is. I will be swapping the handle for something more premium. Otherwise it's a lovely knife to use. Thank you Miwa Hamano.
Hi Mark, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you love the blade and enjoy using the knife. Although we are sorry to hear that you are not as happy with the handle, we are very relieved to hear that you are satisfied with the blade itself and plan to continue using it, modified to your preferences. If you need any recommendations or assistance, feel free to reach out.

I thoroughly enjoy this exceptional piece of high-quality knife. The steel and heat treatment are simply superb. Its cutting performance and edge retention are truly impressive. However, since the edge on my piece wasn’t perfectly flat, I had to manually adjust and sharpen it. In my opinion, this knife embodies the essence of a classic Japanese handmade knife—practical, of high quality, but not as flashy or “perfect” as mass-produced industrial products.
Hi Jack, thank you once again for your purchase and for your continued support! We are so glad to hear that you like your new Sakoda Hamono knife! The beauty of handcrafted knives is exactly that - no two are exactly alike. We are relieved to hear that you were able to adjust the edge on your knife to your liking. As always, if you ever encounter any issues with the knife, please just let us know!

Magnificent knife, perfect length 170cm. Cutting with it is a pleasure. Best knife I ever had. Even tho I am not a professional chef I always wanted Japanese knive made from a master. Thank you.
I only wish importing from Japan to Bulgaria wasn't that expensive.

Hello, the knife arrived—it’s beautiful, sharp, and lived up to my expectations. It’s just a shame that it must have taken a blow to the tip during shipping; the tip popped out of the sheath and is slightly chipped. I don’t know what they do to it during shipping...
Hi Zdenek, thank you for your kind words about the knife. We're sorry to hear about the tip issue during shipping. While we do our best to ship the knives with plenty of secure packaging and protection, occasionally shipping carriers do not treat packages with the kind of care we would like. Please feel free to contact us if you'd like further assistance - a small chip should be fixable with a good sharpening using your whetstone. We are happy to reach out to the artisan himself for tips if you need assistance beyond what we can suggest.

The quality of the handcraft is very good when it comes to the shape and quality of steel, unfortunately I can only give this 4 stars instead of 5 since the knife I received wasn't sharpened, it only had the rough shape and edge, it wasn't able to cut newspaper for an example, I sharpened it myself with the stones I have at home and now the knife is SUPER sharp with a very nice edge retention
Hi Robert, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you were able to sharpen the knife to your satisfaction. We’ll be sure to forward your feedback to the blacksmith - while all knives ship fully sharpened and ready to use, as handcrafted items, it is always possible that your knife may have not have been sharpened as much as it should have. We apologize for the inconvenience but are very relieved to hear that your knife is performing as expected once sharpened. If you need any assistance in the future, feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help.

The knife is extremely thin behind the edge and a joy to use for slicing fillets. It's very lightweight and has a gorgeous, rustic kurouchi finish. Excellent customer service too.
