Sharp knife as expected and a bonus of very fast delivery to an international destination at a very reasonable price
Everything is perfect! I ordered Thursday evening, and I received my order Saturday at noon. The product, the package - the best! Thank you, Sharpedge, you are really sharp!
An extreemly sharp knife, light, easy to use and maintain, but very delicate. Very high quality for its price, very practical for daily use, but don’t use it for heavy work, and keep it from falling. Arrived quickly, good service
Ich hatte vorher schon ein Petty aus VG10 Stahl. Dieses aus ZDP-189 ist noch deutlich schärfer. Außerdem sieht es noch klasse aus und liegt gut in der Hand. Sehr zufrieden.
Das Messer ist wirklich riesig. Sieht aus wie ein kleines Katana. Die Schärfe könnte etwas besser sein. Wird aber vermutlich daran liegen, das in Japan die Köche häufig den letzten Schliff selber vornehmen. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr zufrieden.
Un deba à double tranchant qu'on peut qualifier de robuste! Et lourd ! Peut-être un peu trop, mais c'est à l'usage que je pourrai le dire, ce qui n'est pas encore le cas.
Finitions brutes de forge mais soignées, je le précise. Le tranchant en sortie de boite est tout à fait correcte. Je ne mets que 3* car je ne l'ai pas encore utilisé.
Hello Ludovic,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for your honest review. I’m glad to hear that the knife arrived in good condition and that you are happy with its finish and sharpness.
Deba knives are intentionally thick and heavy, as the extra weight and robust spine help when breaking down fish, cutting through cartilage, and working around bones.
Since you have not yet used the knife, we would really appreciate it if you could update your review and rating once you have had the chance to properly test it.
Warm regards,
Iva
La découpe des légumes va vite, parfois trop vite (attention aux doigts !), le poussoir pour éviter de se couper fonctionne plus ou moins bien en fonction de l'aliment - mais vu le temps de découpe gagné je suis ravie de mon achat !
Realy like this knife. Just what i wanted. Long thick handle,strong back on the knife. Happy to have this knife. Think the price for the knife is good. I will by more from this brand.
Hello Mikael,
Iva from SharpEdge here. I can see that you have reviewed the products you purchased, so thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
I’m glad to hear that you are happy with the Tadafusa knife.
Could you please explain why you gave the and cleaver saya three stars? Was there anything about this product that did not meet your expectations?
Warm regards,
Iva
The leather is like sandpaper, the knives get stuck in the sheath if you pull them out. Feels almost like paper
Hello Marc,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for your honest review.
Could you please explain the issue in a little more detail? When you say that the leather feels like sandpaper, do you mean the inside of the saya? Leather naturally has one smooth, polished side and one rougher side, which is used on the inside.
Please also note that not every knife will fit every saya. The blade length is not the only measurement that matters—the blade height and overall geometry must also be compatible. Even if the length is correct, a blade that is too tall or wide may not slide smoothly and can get stuck.
I’ll reach out to you via email so we can discuss the issue in a little more detail.
Warm regards,
Iva
I decided to christen it by giving my freshly harvested olives their final wash and drain before placing them in brine!
Classic Japanese quality, Made in Japan. Unfortunately, I’m neither an expert nor a chef, so I’ll leave the finer details to those who know better.
Once again, thank you, SharpEdge! Μ
It's a very pretty little pocket knife. It's a bit stiff, but the swivel will prob1ably get looser with time.
Hello Eino,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for your review. I’m glad you like the knife.
Some stiffness is completely normal with a traditional Higonokami. It is a friction-folding knife without a spring or locking mechanism, so the resistance at the pivot helps keep the blade in position during use.
The action will usually become smoother as the knife is opened and closed over time, although the blade should always retain some resistance.
If the blade eventually becomes too loose, the pivot can be tightened again with a very light tap from a hammer. You must be careful to strike only the pivot rivet.
Warm regards,
Iva
Hello Berke,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for your order and for letting us know.
I’m sorry that your sharpening stone arrived damaged. It appears to have been damaged during transport, and this is certainly not how you should have received it.
We will reach out to you by email to resolve this.
Warm regards,
Iva
The SUMMIT Tamagoyaki Omelette Pan is one of those pieces of cookware that immediately makes you appreciate good Japanese craftsmanship.
It heats up incredibly quickly, allowing the omelette to come together in a remarkably short time. The construction quality is, as you would expect, exceptional, with every detail feeling carefully considered. And the “Made in Japan” mark on the bottom of the pan is, for me, the ultimate guarantee of authenticity and quality.
The wooden handle is beautifully finished and perfectly balanced, adding an extra touch of warmth and character to an otherwise beautifully precise piece of cookware.
SharpEdge, thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful piece. I even managed to make my very first tamagoyaki-style omelette — not perfect yet, but certainly a promising beginning! 😄
I finished it with aromatic pieces of tomato and kritamo (sea fennel) from Folegandros, bringing a little taste of the island to this very Japanese cooking experience.
Japanese craftsmanship, Greek ingredients — a rather beautiful combination.
The cutting board was exactly as expected. A very fine and beautiful cutting board. Delivery was quick.
A beautiful example of Japanese craftsmanship, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered — from the exceptional quality of the metal and the precision of the construction, to the beautifully finished wooden handle.
Even the smallest details are clever: the stickers come off effortlessly from the wooden handle, the saucepan is equally comfortable to use for both right - and left - handed cooks, and the indicator inside is a wonderfully practical touch. I particularly like the ingenious hanger for the lid — simple, elegant and incredibly useful.
This is the kind of product that reminds you why Japanese design and craftsmanship are so highly regarded: nothing is there just for the sake of appearance; every detail has a purpose.
A big thank you to SharpEdge for once again offering such beautifully made, high- quality products.
And, of course, I had to give it its first test with shrimp noodles and wild asparagus. A rather delicious way to christen a new piece of Japanese craftsmanship. 🇯🇵🍤🌿
Prodotto di ottima fattura e molto comodo da usare. Se ci tieni ai tuoi coltelli è un prodotto che DEVI avere 😎
Premier achat sur ce site après une mauvaise expérience chez « Maitre coutelier ».
Reçu en un peu plus de 24h…..
L’emballage est soigné, le livreur tout simplement parfait (DHL) par rapport à chronopost etc.
Merci pour cette expérience client réussi à tous les niveaux
J’ai hâte de recommander mon prochain couteau
This is me converted to zdp-189. What a thing! Not had such a high performing knife before. It is beautiful and crazy sharp.
I recently returned from Japan, and as I have done on every trip, I purchased another chef's knife. This time however, instead of shopping Kappabashi Street, I spent several days in Mino and Seki, and looked at knives from the source, the acutal forges that produced them. While there, I decided to purchase a sujihiki from Yasuda Hamono, and I am thouroughly impressed by the quality of this knife. It compares favourably with my more expensive purchases in terms of aesthetics, and the performance is incredible.
The blade is supremely sharp, and I carve roasts, briskets and other meats as easily as cutting through air. The balance of the knife is perfect, and I've already spoken highly of the appearance of the knife.
From now on, when I travel to Japan, I will definitely include a trip to Seki to view more of the Yasuda Hamono product line.
