What can I say... a beautiful knife!!
Zdp-189 steel! A steel that will keep an edge longer than almost all other steel.
Out the box it is sharp, not scary sharp, but sharp. A quick 10 minutes on a sharpening stone and a quick strop and it was CRAZY sharp, and its stayed that way since. The edge retention is mind blowing, honestly! I was worried it would be horrible to sharpen, but I had no issue sharpening it.
All in all would I recommend it? Absolutely!
Will it be my new daily user? Absolutely!
Would i recommend this store? Absolutely!

The only negative I have is that the delivery was way longer than it was meant to be. It was meant to be 2-3 days and took over a week. But that is probably due to me buying during a super sale so they would have been very busy.

All in all its an amazing knife that will last a lifetime. 10/10
- also the packaging it come in is amazing! They really put the extra work in to make it beautiful.

Paired this 135mm petty with a v. elegant 115mm ebony and white oxhorn handle I sourced especially for it. I think the combination elevates both components into something special. V. happy with the purchase.

Nice little Ajikiri - razor sharp out of the box. Paired it with an ebony and red sandalwood handle (originally 125mm but didn't like the proportions, so cut it down to 115mm). Sanded down the sharper edges on the spine and choil to make it more comfortable in the pinch grip - also picked out the kanji in bronze enamel. Haven't used it yet but expect it to be perfect for chopping garlic / shallots and other fine cutting tasks.

Knife very light, nice the handle comfortable and the color of the blade is amazing!!

Very good scissor for my salmonflytying.

Good looking, easy to handle and sharp.

Articolo spedito in tempi brevissimi con una cura pazzesca del packaging con un piccolo gadget all'interno "cerotto firmato Sharp edge" simpaticissimo.

Delivered in 24hrs with Pogacar like speed from Slovenia to UK. Paired the 170mm Bunka blade with a 130mm golden and black sandalwood handle I had spare. The finish on the blade is a little rustic but the sharp edges on the spine and choil were easily sanded off and given a light polish. After a coat of oil the new knife had a test run prepping a Chinese Beef and Onion stir-fry - cuts like a dream. Very happy with the latest addition to my knife stable.

If you Order the Same knife in the configurator, the price ist 135€ + fitting 10€ + handle 80€ , the sum ist 225€ , so 50€ cheaper....

I ordered it. I must say quality ist not meeting my expectations. The blade ist longer than 170mm. It is 175 mm. The blade ist not straight at the end. Even not as good as for a knife in far lower price categories. The handle has quite a big step in the transition from horn to wood. Feels uncomfortable and cheap. I was looking forward to get a nice knife... Now I am quite disappointed.

What a knife. I ordered one with a custom handle made out of sandalwood and the result is flawless.
The sharpness of the blade is crazy, and the kurouchi is just beautiful. 🤗
This is my first knife from the Yoshida Hamono smithy, but definitely not my last.
Just amazing craftmanship.

Very happy with the knife. Pretty big, but handles well. Good locking mechanism, but not so esthetic.

5 stars for sure. I got this as a gift about 5yrs ago, maybe more 🤷‍♂️. So far, I have used it to debone 4 deer, 3 elk, a few bears, 2 lions, a couple cows, and numerous pigs and sheep. It holds its edge beautifully, the grip is very ergonomic, it still gives you adequate stability even when covered in greasy pig fat lol. I keep the bevel even so it cuts the same from any angle or hand. I usually use stones but it will hone up quick with a rod or work sharp field sharpener. Can’t recommend enough if you’re on the fence!!!

Very nice item….fast shipping

New addition to your pocket: Higonokami. A minimalist, handmade Japanese pocketknife. Higonokami is not just a pocketknife, but a little piece of Japanese history that you carry in your pocket.

Excellent repair service to a chip on my nearly new hap 40 gyuto. All down to my own mistake but thankfully the sharp edge team were super helpful on all aspects of the repair and shipping. I don't know how you guys manage to ship to the UK so cost effectively. Thanks again.

I keep it in my office work bag to open pakages and peel fruits. Super cute poket knife

The tip is fantastic for detailed work, and the pattern is simply bautiful

Supewr sharp and perfect for small works and fish

Astazi mi-a sosit Higonokami-ul.Foarte dragut!Foarte ascutit.A trecut cu brio testul hartiei...ca si in titlu..o bucatica de Japonie in mana mea..Recomand!

Visually this is easily one the most beautiful knives that I own. Fit and finish is great, the blade and handle look amazing.
But unfortunately this knife does not back up it's looks with performance. The blade is so sticky that it is very unpleasant to use. Dicing onions with the knife is borderline dangerous.
Every time I give this knife a chance I notice that I put it down after 3 minutes and grab another knife to finish the cutting job I started.
I really wanted to like this knife and my expectations were very high, as they should be for a 450 euro knife, but unfortunately it just sits in my knife drawer unused because anything else in my collection outperforms it (usually by a lot)...

This is an amazing knife, out of the box sharpness is ridiculous. The knife is thin, light, razor sharp and glides through food. This is the knife I reach for the most in my collection. If someone asks me which knife they should buy, this is the one I recommend.

Good knife. Great value for the price.

The handle was stunning with this deep red color and fitting service was perfectly done.

Got as a gift from my girlfriend absolute perfection the only thing is a small scathes because of the hand fitting but only this.

It’s like having an antique everything in this knife is like made by blacksmith from period of samurai’s.
