These function incredibly well for serving and turning meat and sliced veggies. Unfortunately after a few uses the powder coat has already begun to chip off. If it wasn’t for that these would easily be 5-star.
This knife does not disappoint! The matte finished blade is simple but elegant. Well balanced, sharp out of the box, and great for detailed cuts. My only gripe is the gold ring on the handle (maple burl handle) behind the ferrule is raised and can be felt while cutting. Otherwise, for the price, flawless!
This is my first Gyuto knife. As a house cook, this my first scary knife after 20 years of kitchen. It could be used for Langer's lines as scalpel. I've had japanese steels in hand before but this... Balance and fatigue are not an issue because is very light, or I'm too strong!
The feeling of handling this knife is like first sip of martini at the begining of the party. Nothing is impossible!
Thank you Sharp edge!
It is slightly thicker than my previous sujihiki but same sharp because the edge thickness almost same. I like it's Aogami stuff since it has tungsten.
Ein Unglaublich tolles Messer!!! Sehr leicht, mega gut ausbalanciert! Und extrem scharf! Schön graviert, gut leserlich.
It’s sad to see a well known Japanese brand like suncraft deliver you a product made in CHINA..
Also this taken apart system maybe allow you to clean it easily but it never work well when you cut,especially in the tip of scissors..
It s simply a poorly designed product
Hello Vaggelis,
Iva from SharpEdge here. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We understand your disappointment, while the majority of our Suncraft products are made in Japan, a small number (like these shears) are produced in China, but this shouldn’t compromise their quality.
We realize that the take-apart feature can sometimes feel inconvenient, but it also allows for very thorough cleaning, which is important for food safety. We actually use these shears ourselves in our filleting courses and find they perform very well.
Could you share a bit more about the specific task you were doing with the tip of the scissors? This would help us better understand your experience and see if there’s a way we can assist further.
Thank you again for your honest feedback!
Warm regards,
Iva
As always your knives selection is top notch! My very first big knife, worked like a charm. Razor sharp straight from the box (that I would add its beautiful). Used the whole day to test it, gone through every task with no problem. Always happy to buy from you! Till next time, Daniele
This item shipped fast. Fit and finish were great and required very little filing to install. Thanks, great product and it matches my knife perfectly!
Comprata assieme al coltello Kotetsu Nakiri VG-10 Damascus 160mm (6.3") [pakka wood] per proteggere sia la sua lama che le mie dita.
In plastica rigida e con imbottitura morbida all'interno, avvolge completamente la lama del coltello, anche in altezza. La uso per riporre il nakiri nel mio cassetto nel mobile cucina.
Mi sarebbe piaciuto un saya in legno, ma non mi sembra che ce n'è disponibile per il tipo di coltello.
Hey!
We’re glad to hear that the plastic saya is protecting both your knife and your fingers! At the moment, we unfortunately do not offer a wooden saya for the Kotetsu Nakiri, but we’re always working on expanding our selection and adding new items to our shop. We’ll do our best to offer a suitable wooden saya for nakiri knives as soon as possible.
If you have any questions in the future about care, sharpening or anything else related, we are at your disposal.
Warm regards,
Iva
Ho sostituito con questa la mia vecchia grattugia, dalla forma più convenzionale.
Non che ne avessi un bisogno impellente, ma mi sono innamorato della sua forma, e così l'ho comprata; non ho preso il modello più grande perché non ho bisogno di tanto spazio di lavoro.
È di una usabilità molto comoda e la forma permette di raccogliere da una parte il cibo grattato.
Era da tempo che cercavo un Nakiri che fosse anche di bell'aspetto; SharpEdge ne ha di molto interessanti, non essendo io, però, un cuoco, ma un semplice appassionato, la scelta è caduta su questo che ho preso: la finitura lucida della lama, unita alla martellatura e ai 17 strati di damasco, ne hanno determinato la scelta.
Il coltello è molto comodo da impugnare e da usare, grazie anche al bel manico a sezione ottagonale; in questi giorni ne ho già fatto uso, traendone molto piacere.
Una sola nota stonata: nel lato posteriore, esattamente dalla parte opposta alla scritta in kanji, una piccola porzione di lama liscia interrompe la distribuzione della martellatura. Nella foto pubblicata sul sito non è apprezzabile, ma osservando il coltello dal vivo è abbastanza evidente e l'occhio va sempre a cadere su questo particolare.
È un piccolo dettaglio, ma avrei gradito che non ci fosse; nonostante ciò ho dato le 5 stelle, che sono ben meritate.
Ottimo e molto rapido il tempo di spedizione e di consegna, bell'imballo con carta di giornale giapponese e con, dentro, l'immancabile cerotto.
Excellent value knife! Fit and finish is very good! .... Knife is a bit tip heavy, but very comfortable! Highly recommend it for "Aogami super" lovers....!
Loving the knife so far. The blade, the sharpness, the handle, the engraving and patina it builds! Its a great knife.
I'm delighted. Great service, with good updates. The blade is straight, well sharpened, good looking, lovely balance, and my new go to for veg prep. Lovely job guys!

A board that is kind to the knife and can go in the dishwasher. It's not a full replacement for an end grain wood board, but it's close. Smells and hygiene conscious chopping? Yes.
