QatarAwesome
United StatesI bought this as a gift for a close friend and he absolutely loves it. Incredibly sharp and beautiful piece. Highly recommend
United StatesI got this knife around 7 months ago. I have since shopped at the store 2 times, to get a gift, and to get another petty. This knife has been great. It was my first Japanese knife, and the level of craftsmanship is great. The knife came out of the box perfect, and looked beautiful. The edge from factory was very sharp, and the steel is soft enough to sharpen quickly, but tough enough to hold a good edge for a lot of cutting. I am enjoying the stainless properties as well. The handle is a beautiful magnolia wood that has a pearlescent zebra stipe effect when oiled up- I put a couple layers of flax seed oil on when I received it, and add another layer every now and then. The blade is slicey, but not super thin- so it does have mild resistance when there is a tall cut. The handle has nice ergonomics, and I haven't had any issues with it yet. I wish that I could find a Saya for this knife- I made one for it out of cardstock paper. The main downside of this knife is that it has me wanting to buy more Japanese knives ;) Koki is great to deal with, and takes customer service seriously- even though there was an issue with DHL, which was a one off thing, Koki made sure that I got the product. I appreciate this, and his warm interaction. I would and have recommended this store to friends.
AustraliaFirst kiritsuke style knife, light, well balanced and beautifully sharp out of the box. The handle is very comfortable (large left hand). I did burr the blade after some heavier use in my initial excitement (my bad) but the knife resharpened quickly. This has quickly become my go to knife (home cook) over other vg10 / sg2 knives. Great value and excellent response to questions from Koki and the team at JCK
