Very good experince

An excellent buying experience: the knife works perfectly and the design is stunning. Fast, accurate shipping and excellent packagingent

Great quality

Fast shipping

Excellent geometry for small knife and beautiful finish.

Sehr schönes Messer. Wie abgebildet und super im Handling…

Hammerschlag?

Leider hat die Klinge nicht die gewünschte Hammerschlag-Optik. Natürlich ist mir bewusst das es immer zu Abweichungen kommen kann aber die Klinge macht eher einen gewalzten Eindruck und dies war weder aus den Bildern noch aus der Beschreibung erkennbar. Dies ist sehr schade da ich mich gerade deshalb für diese Klinge entschieden habe

For lapping not Sharpening

It is extremely aggressive for any type of steel ,I use it only on my low grit stones for flattening purposes only. It does the job like nobody's business

Excellent value for money

The knife is well-made, feels solid in the hand and the overall quality is much higher than I expected for this price. Out of the box it’s sharp enough for everyday kitchen use — not razor-sharp, but definitely good and consistent across the edge.

The spine is slightly thicker than stated in the description, and the balance point sits a bit behind the choil, making the knife feel slightly handle-heavy. Nothing major, just worth mentioning.

Overall, considering the price, build quality and performance, the price-to-quality ratio is outstanding. A great bunka for the money especially on Black Friday.

Amazing knive!!

Yoshida SUJ-2 Santoku — my first Japanese knife, and I’m absolutely hooked

This is my very first real Japanese knife, and it completely blew me away. I honestly didn’t expect it to feel so refined — the grind is insanely thin, it’s a true laser. The first time I cut with it, I just stood there in disbelief at how effortlessly it glides through everything.

The fit and finish are way above what I imagined for the price — beautiful kuro-uchi, perfect lines, and that ebony + buffalo horn handle feels luxurious in hand. You can tell this knife was made with care.

I’ve seen other SUJ-2s sold for much less in different shops, but this one is on a totally different level. The finish, the geometry, the attention to detail — they just don’t compare.

For a first Japanese knife, it couldn’t have been a better choice. I’m honestly in love with it — it’s the kind of knife that makes you want to cook just to use it again.

Well Done

Excellent and really fast service.

Beautiful Surprise

I ordered the handle with fitting service and a blade. The service was perfect and really fast. The colour was as written in the description somewhere between green and blue, see photo attached. The handle feels great and seems to be pretty stable. Let's see how it lasts over time.

Excellent blade

Ordered it with a custom handle and it was delivered razor sharp.

Gracias!!

Me sorprendió lo rápido que llegó el pedido, y aunque pedí solo un aceite para mis cuchillos, se sintió súper especial. La hermosa caja en la que vino y la tarjeta que recibí, escrita a mano… Sin duda me quede con ganas de pedir más cosas!

Solid as a rock!

I was very impressed with the sturdiness and excellent workmanship of this item!

Perfect knife

Astonishing comfort working with this knife and huge versatility for comparably long blade. It’s even easy to work on smal cuts when holding the knife by the blade itself nearer the top. So much enjoying the roundings of all the ribs. The sharpness goes just as default. It gives me so much joy every time.

Excellent hap40 Gyuto wide 240 mm

I had a pleasant communication with the Staff about different types of knife. They helped me narrow it down to 2 knives. I wanted hap40 steel and Gyuto and Bunka. Yashido hamono was the blacksmith. When I order it the express shipping came along. Superfast shipping. All vat/taxes included. The wrapping was delikat. Wrapped in japanese newspaper. Open it and a stunbing bunka came infront of me. Just felt with my way of testing sharpness. It was just the way I liked it. A little sticky. The hair pops freehanded(not dragging along the skin)Super impressed . I will definitivly make another purchase from these guys again. 5 out of 5 from me

Beautifully made knife and amazing customer support

Very pleased with my new petty knife. Prior to ordering Iva from customer service was extremely helpful in advising me in my options.
The attention to detail in the way the product is packed is the sign of the passion of this company about the products they sell. From the Japanese newspaper wrapping, the knife care instructions, the SharpEdge sticker and the branded sticking plaster (hoping not to need it), all loving touches that add to the unboxing experience.
Even though this is not a UK based company, the delivery was exceptionally quick too. My first order came next day, which I was astonished by. Would totally recommend this company if you are looking for an authentic Japanese knife for your kitchen.
