I’m impressed with the quality of this knife. It’s sharp, durable, and handles a variety of kitchen tasks effortlessly.
I’m very satisfied with this knife. It’s sharp, sturdy, and handles a variety of tasks with ease. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require regular sharpening to stay in top condition. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these minor drawbacks, it’s a great knife that’s well worth the investment.

A reliable and well-made knife that's worth the investment.
The knives are stunning, the damascus pattern is really eye catching. They're well balanced and sharp. I use the bread knife and the petty knife almost daily. A really solid set that should last years.
Lovely looking set that performs well. My partner finds the handles perfect but I think they're a tiny bit slippery if my hands are wet. Not a deal breaker, just something to be mindful of. The blades themselves are excellent.
My son bought me these for my birthday, best present ever. The collection is so complete, I don't find myself reaching for any other knife. The fruit knife is perfect for small jobs. They feel quality in the hand.
Ok so I was a bit nervous spending this much on knives but they're brilliant. The damascus pattern is really pretty and the handles feel solid, not cheap at all. The nakiri is my favourite for chopping herbs, makes quick work of it. Only thing is the handles are a bit chunkier than I'm used to but I got the hang of it after a few days.
Bought this for my husband who loves cooking. He was chuffed to bits with it. The knives are seriously sharp, he keeps telling me how well the kiritsuke knife works for slicing up chicken breasts. Came in a nice box too which made it feel like a proper present.
Bought these for my husband who loves cooking. He's over the moon. Says the edge retention is great, still razor sharp after a month of heavy use. He uses the bread knife and the larger santoku the most. They arrived really well packaged. Lovely looking set, feels like a proper professional bit of kit.
Very good knives overall. The blades are fantastic and they're a joy to use. I just wish the kiritsuke was a bit longer, feels a tad short for some tasks. That's just personal preference though, still a brilliant collection.
This knife has become my go-to in the kitchen
The design of this knife is as beautiful as it is functional. It’s easily the best tool in my kitchen.
Really happy with the purchase. The nakiri is my favourite. They're all a bit more substantial than I expected, which isn't a bad thing, just took a meal prep to adjust. The quality is definitely there.
Ok so I was a bit nervous spending this much on knives but its worth it. The damascus pattern is gorgeous and they're just so well balanced. I use the kiritsuke most for general chopping, its a dream. The set covers everything I need, from breaking down a chicken to slicing fruit. Massive upgrade.
