Super fast shipping and the knife is incredible. It’s sharp, sturdy, and beautifully crafted.
Daichi D. (verified owner) –
I appreciate the quality of this knife. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and seems built to last. The edge retention is decent, though not as long-lasting as I had hoped. The handle is comfortable to hold, with a good grip, but I think it could be improved with a slightly more contoured design to better fit the hand. The knife performs well in a variety of cutting tasks, making it a reliable tool in the kitchen. However, I do wish the blade maintained its sharpness a bit longer between sharpenings.

I’m really pleased with this knife. It’s sharp enough to make food prep significantly easier, cutting through everything from tough root vegetables to delicate herbs with minimal effort. The design is sleek, and the knife feels well-balanced in hand. However, after a few uses, I noticed some slight dulling of the blade, which means it requires regular sharpening. The handle is comfortable, but after extended use, I noticed some strain on my wrist. All in all, it’s a good knife that offers solid performance in the kitchen.

This knife has made a noticeable difference in my kitchen. It’s sharp, easy to handle, and a pleasure to use. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance.

Despite these minor issues, it’s a great knife that’s become an essential tool in my kitchen.

This knife has a nice balance and sharpness. It’s been a reliable tool in my kitchen for all sorts of tasks.
