Amazing quality steel knife. Super sharp edge, good balance and geometry and beautuful patina.

A well-designed plastic case with internal lining, perfect for protecting the Deba knife during transport — especially useful for someone like me who travels often — and also ideal for safe storage. Excellent value for money and quality!

Once again, many thanks to Urban for his great suggestions, helpful comments, and patience, and to your Sharp Edge company for the outstanding service.

Warm greetings from Thessaloniki, Greece.

Upon unboxing, my first thought was: "Well, this is definitely a brick!" It’s large, very heavy, and could probably be used to build something as well.

In terms of performance, this stone does a solid job. It forms a mud super quickly, which is great for those who enjoy that satisfying slurry. However, the downside is that this also means the stone wears down relatively quickly, but given its massive size, that shouldn’t be an issue for a while.

I’m planning to keep it next to my Shapton Glass set for my high-performance knives, but this one will mainly come in handy when I sharpen friends' knives, especially since they tend to be made of softer steels. The 800 grit is perfect for this since it’s aggressive enough to remove material efficiently but still gives a decent finish with low pressure and plenty of mud.

Overall, a solid stone for general use, especially when you want a bit more bite for softer steels. Don't expect it to work on powder metallurgy steels like ZDP-189

As someone who owns a decent collection of Japanese knives, ranging from more entry-level smiths up until custom one-offs, I feel like I have a fair amount of experience with different knives and quality control levels. However, I’ve never encountered an issue quite like this before.

At first glance, the knife looks impressive; the kasumi finish is beautifully and quite even. There are a few scratches in the kurouchi, but that's acceptable at this price point. The rosewood and cedar handle has a good contrast and is sanded smooth, so it feels quite good in hand. The actual edge seems razor sharp on my fingers.

However, when it comes to performance, I was disappointed to notice that the entire blade is actually warped. Not only is the blade on an offset angle from the handle, the blade itself is twisted as well. I've included a couple of photo's to show this.

Despite owning knives that could be described as rustic, I’ve never come across one where the flaw had such a significant impact on the knife’s usability. The warping would make it hard to get consistent, precise cuts, which completely undermines the knife's function in the kitchen.

While the aesthetics and handle are fantastic (especially considering the price), the warped blade makes this knife hard to recommend. I'm considering returning it for this reason.

It’s not easy to find a proper cutting knife — and especially a Deba knife for left-handers.
I found one here, with truly great quality and price. But most importantly, what made the difference for me was the excellent customer service. Urban answered all my emails kindly and patiently, and his knowledge really helped me a lot.

I’m not a professional — just an amateur fisherman — but I truly appreciate your fast shipping, careful packaging, and the overall respect you show to your customers.

Warm greetings from Thessaloniki, Greece, and a heartfelt thank you!

"A good knife, but the steel is weaker than I expected — it gets damaged and loses its edge easily."

I would like to compliment the seriousness shown by the SharpEdge team. During the sales, I bought an Usuba and unfortunately noticed that the blade geometry wasn't perfect. After contacting customer service, they immediately offered to collect the knife for re-sharpening. In just three days, I repeat, 3 days, the knife was collected, the blade fixed, and the package returned to my home. A truly special applause for the way they solved the problem! Regarding the Usuba, there's little to say, I thought the 210mm blade would be unwieldy, but it's perfect. The only thing I would have liked to find in the box is some information about the craftsman who made the knife.

Thanks sharp edge, amazing fast shipping, also customer service, will order again for sure.

Very sharp. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Perfect slices. Use a glove, i cutted my finger in the first minute. But very happy. Love it. Also best price in this shop for this tool, inspite the (fair) shipping costs

Freitag bestellt, Dienstag nach Deutschland geliefert. Der Griff ist perfekt verarbeitet, keine Absätze oder Überstände zwischen Griffholz und Zwinge. Das Büffelhorn ist dunkel-blond und gefällt mir sehr gut. Das Loch für den Erl ist sauber und gerade ausgeführt. Vor der Montage an mein Teruyasu Fujiwara Gyuto habe ich das Loch mit Schlüsselfeilen minimal vergrößert und dann den Erl mit Heißkleber eingeklebt. Ich bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Der Originalgriff (Magnolienholz mit Plastikzwinge) wiegt übrigens 23 Gramm, der Ebenholzgriff wiegt 66 Gramm. Dadurch wandert der Schwerpunkt des Messers etwas nach hinten.

Beautiful

Lightweight knife with a razor Sharp Edge! It's a guyto but can be used as a small deba for filleting fish. A surprising knife at incredible price (buyed at last minute offer)

It’s big! Perfect for my kitchen & chefs, removes material quickly & lasts

Good little 2000 grit stone to finish up your edge, cheap & easy

Excelent product and customer service.

The knife, well, it just delivered perfectly. It's beautiful and has some serious sharp. Fast delivery.

È il mio primo coltello giapponese e ne sono entusiasta!
Manico perfetto, lama perfetta, oltre ogni aspettativa!
Veramente bello,
un grazie di cuore allo staff che mi ha supportato e sopportato.

Beautiful handle with a smooth finish, it feels like I got what I paid for.

This is my first gyuuto and man it fits me like a glove. It’s a long blade so I wouldn’t recommend it for someone with small hands or short arms. I’ve mostly used santoku knives previously but this knife is a dream. I mostly use it for cutting meat and it slices up the thickest steaks as if they were butter. Beautiful blade, keeps an edge (at least for the month I’ve had it) and it’s also beautiful

Size is fit for meduim to narrow size knife width, high quality leather surface, safely and fast delivery overseas/Japan

First of all it look great, cuts better. Easy to handle. Had it 5 days after i ordered with engraving. Thanks guys. Already ordered knife nr 2.

I’m very satisfied with the knife. It’s lightweight and well rounded. Comes very sharp and ready to fit a handle. I did choose a combined handle, octagonal in front and western in the back. Best of 2 worlds.

Simply perfect, the size, weight and balance are exactly what I was looking for. The clean line of the knife is a joy to admire. The edge of the blade has passed the test of paper, tomato and even my fingers 😂😂. The shipping service is super, SharpEdge never disappoints.
