All in all, super happy with the order, very fast delivery (2 days) and the knife is super sharp out-of-the-box. Always happy to order from here!
This is a good looking knife. It is light and so sharp it seems to slide through things. Wa is as good looking as the knife and was installed well. Thank you!
Urushi Wagara Oak handle is good looking as well as functional. Pictures don’t capture the shine and color.
Knife was wrapped in newspaper that had the cranes washi paper covering it. A great job! Nicely wrapped and protected. Shipped securely and arrived FAST.

Appena si prende in mano il coltello e si iniziano a tagliare i primi ingredienti, si capisce subito la qualità e la precisione della lama. È estremamente affilata e scivola attraverso le verdure senza alcuno sforzo, con tagli netti e puliti. La sensazione è quella di avere tra le mani uno strumento ben progettato, che rende la preparazione degli ingredienti rapida e piacevole. Un coltello che trasmette subito affidabilità e ottime prestazioni in cucina.
This was my first carbon steel knife and a first nakiri.
Have some good Japanese stainless steel knives (Santoku and a Gyuto) but never owned a carbon steel knife neither a nakiri. Very nice fit an finnish, the blade with the koi fish is an piece of art and the hande is great. However the blade wasnt as sharp as my other Japanese knives has been straight out of the box. But it was quite easy to get an good sharp edge on the knife with my whetstone.
I will most likely to use it a lot because prepping much veggies at home.
Super happy with my purchase.
Hello Toni,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for for your detailed feedback.
I’m very glad to hear that you like the knife overall.
Regarding the sharpness, many traditional Japanese blacksmiths intentionally do not finish the edge to the absolute maximum sharpness. This allows the user to personalize the secondary bevel depending on their cutting style or whether they are left- or right-handed. Another reason is that extremely thin edges can sometimes be damaged during transport, so the final sharpening is often left to the user. So it really depends on the maker whether you'll get out-of-the-box sharpness or not.
I’m glad to hear you were able to quickly bring it to a nice sharp edge. With regular use it will eventually need sharpening anyway, so it’s great that you already have the tools and experience.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Iva
I was given this knife as a gift for Christmas by my son and daughter. I like to cook and have many knives, but this is my go-to knife for nearly everything. It's beautiful, and its a great knife!
Best mandolin slicer. Period. Nothing much more to write. If one looks at what is used in professional kitchens in most, if not all, cases it will be a Benriner model. I got the 64mm first at another place for a much higher price than it is offered at SharpEdge and then purchased this larger 95mm version as it is more versatile. Highly recommended.
This is one bad ass looking knife and it preforms like a dream.
Just most amazing knife, beautiful craftmanship and it is extremely sharp.
This blacksmith is so talented and this is not the last knife i will buy from him.
It works very well in the kitchen, it arrived razor sharp, it's a pleasure to work with it.
Hello Csaba,
Thank you for another review. I’m really glad to hear the knife is performing well and that you’re enjoying using it.
If you don’t mind me asking, was there anything that didn’t fully meet your expectations? I’d really appreciate your feedback.
Warm regards,
Iva
My dauhter love her knife, the first one for her, now she love to help daddy to cook
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.
Hello Matthew,
Thank you so much for your review.
Yes, as we discussed via email, we had a very high volume of orders at that time due to the sale, so processing and delivery took a bit longer than usual.
I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying the knife and I hope it serves you well for a long time.
Warm regards,
Iva
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.
Articolo spedito in tempi brevissimi con una cura pazzesca del packaging con un piccolo gadget all'interno "cerotto firmato Sharp edge" simpaticissimo.
