Customer Reviews
This is a superb knife which I enjoy using.Extremely sharp and the weight of the blade is almost enough to slice some items by itself.The blade has an attractive hamon and the steel has a delightful aroma when rinsed in cold water.I enjoyed watching the craftsmen forging the blades and hope I can maintain it correctly.
Beautiful blade. Very well polished and sharp.
Great company to deal with. Would purchase again.
Thank you so much for everything. Such an amazing knife! It's craftsmanship is unmatched! Definitely hands down best and most sharp well made knife I've ever used!
Happy with both knives they came nice and sharp and delivered in nice packaging with good quality Whetstones which I have not tried yet.
The Shirou knife has a really colorful and interesting Kurouchi finish. The Spine and Choil were a bit rough which was easily smoothed with a piece of sandpaper.
The Minomo had nice engraving and was like I expected. The Handle nice but plain with no finish.
