They are very sharp which allows for precise movement while trimming meat.

All these knives are fantastic and this one was no exception. I have fallen in love with Japanese Knives.

We bought a chef’s knife from their store in Kyoto. We liked it so much we bought a nakiri knife from them online. Surprisingly it arrived in 3 days and it was free shipping! These knives are dangerously sharp. As we only had them for a short time, don’t know yet how well they keep an edge.

Bought this knife online as well as some in person. These knives are fantastic and so much fun to use in the kitchen. The staff informed me of how to perform maintenance and it's easier than I expected when arriving home. I needed more. So this one made my list.

I bought this knife online after visiting the store in person in Kyoto. After the people in the store gave me all the information I needed on maintenance of my Carbon Steel Knife, I bought one in person. I was worried about purchasing more without experiencing the upkeep myself. After being home for a bit and using the knife. I needed more and this was on my list of knives.

I visited Kyoto a month ago and bought some knives from Yoshimune Knives and I liked them so much I wanted more. I was happy to find them online and at the same great prices. I made the order and received them.

My questions were answered quickly and honestly about why there was a slight delay in shipping. A knife that was ordered had gone out of stock. They offered solutions and I received the knives two days later in the post.

I love the customer service in Kyoto, and I’m also very satisfied with the internet purchase. I find this knives I purchased in Kyoto and on the internet very sharp and easy to use. By far this are the best knives I have ever owned; and I own a lot. I can’t even wait until I use it in hunting season. Your blacksmiths should be proud of the product they created.

Thank you,

I just received my Nakiri Knife, I noticed the Great care was put into packaging and shipping this knife. As I opened it, I immediately noticed the beauty and workmanship that was put into making it. Job well done.

Good job

Just used it to prepare some streak for the first time. Very smooth to use and cuts so thin if desired with little to no effort. Looks beautiful.

Just by the fact it was 'Made in Japan' is the only guarantee needed that a product will be of quality and that the transaction will be with honour and integrity.
The knife is an art piece, cuts superbly and will be the only knife I will use from now on.
Domo arigato gozaimashita.

as always an excellent quick delivery from japan with fed ex as usual the knife is great i will def be back for a sujihiki

Amazing hand forged knife. Steel quality is amazing. It's a gem for that price. Only disappointment was "free delivery" statement, actually buyer needs to pay for the delivery. Needed to sharpen the blade to be able to cut napkins. Edge retention is good, real authentic look, best choice for a person looking for ultimate functionality and authenticity. Thanks!

Though I did take it out of its box and handle it for a very short time it was insanely sharp. It carried a little forward weight but I am sure that is because of the style of the knife. I expect it to be used fully and it was beautiful.

excellent knife, arrived in Denmark within a week from the order.
