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.

Facciamo un applausi a tutti loro. Continuati così!!!
Knife is perfectly balanced, razor sharp and quality. Only issue is the blade is fairly narrow so if you have large hands I wouldn’t recommend it. But other than that it’s amazing.
Very fast shipping, and the product was perfect, beautiful, sharp,impeccable quality and affordable, I highly recommend this one
4 slots plus another 4 elastic ones for tools, compact, sturdy and the best option if you want to bring the essentials
Beautiful white-handled Mcusta nakiri knife, does the job - but most of all, amazing service!!! Great explanatory website, prompt and thorough answers to pre-sales questions, SUPER-SWIFT shipping, amazing packaging. Best online shopping service EVER. I wish I had bought all my knives from SharpEdge! I wish I could buy everything from SharpEdge!!!!!
Great service with fast delivery. The knife matches our other 210mm which is also 10/10. The look and feel is perfect and this is a great knife for our needs at home.
This knife is absolutely stunning. The blade, the handle, the finish, the workmanship. All stunning. My only slight gripe is that it wasn't delivered as sharp as I'd have liked it to be. I asked when ordering to send it very sharp as I read some purchasers saying theirs could have been sharper.
It's not a massive deal and I can sharpen it myself. But I did ask and it seems my request wasn't taken into consideration.
But I now have a beautiful, custom, Bunka that will give me years and years of joy.
Hi!
Thank you so much for taking the time and writing us a reveiw!
We did see the note with your order, and we indeed sharpen the knife before shipping out. Would you be so kind and elaborate how you tested the sharpness of the blade? Apologies for extra hassle and work on your order. Will reach to you privetly to discuss further steps.
If you have any questions in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
All the best,
Urban
I purchased this knife six months ago so I’ve had ample time to do a review it, I’ve been a executive chef for over 45 years and also an avid knife collector as well, absolutely love this knife it’s my go to, sharp as a razor takes an edge fast and good, feel amazing in hand, buy with confidence!
Nice knife but less sharp than the former nigara petty in the same design buy in the same store. That is the first time that i sharp a new knife directly. After that it is a great tool.
Thank you for taking the time and writing a review on the knife.
We appreciate your honest feedback. Each knife can vary slightly due to the hand-finishing process, and we’re sorry to hear this one didn’t meet your expectations straight out of the box. However, we’re glad to hear that after sharpening, it performs well for you.
Enjoy your knife, and thank you for choosing us.
Best regards,
Miha.
Sharp , beautiful
Fast delivery! Holds an edge well too!
Still going strong and haven’t had to sharpen it in 2 weeks of work!
It fits my bunka like a glove, the only downside is the one I ordered came curved/bent and not exactly straight!
I’m not sure if that’s gonna be healthy for the knife in the long run.
I emailed the customer support and was completely ignored…
Hello!
Urban from SharpEdge here, thank you for your order and also for binging the issue to our attention.
I'm not sure how, but we never received your initial email about this issue. Nonetheless, we will sort this out and arrange shipping of the new piece.
Again, apologies for not responding sooner. We simply didn't know that there was any issue at all.
All the best,
Urban
It is amazing how easy this knife is to handle. The 17 centimeters might seem small, but they are enough to handle any challenge. This knife is perfectly balanced in all parameters. Takamura will definitely make history in the world of knives with the invention of the ultra-thin blade. Thank you Sharpedge.
Buyed for my new japanese knifes ( from this store :D). Quality second to none, cutting board well assembled!
Well donne!
