Amazing craftsmanship! Absolutely beyond razor sharp. Looking forward to using and taking care of this knife for years to come. Compliments to Shiro Kamo! Shipping was also very prompt and well packaged, ordered from California.

First Intro blade into Japanese Cutlery and has been blistering sharp and worlds above past and current cutlery I have owned. It honestly got me back into the love of cooking again, So I would definitely give my recommendation for this knife and the Sharp Shop team were very helpful in my Purchase Experience.

Love the De Buyer Mineral B Pro pans! I seasoned first in the oven since the handles are oven safe, and on an electric stove top it's difficult to season the sides of the pans. The handles are a comfortable shape to hold and the pans work amazingly well. I get a nice sear on things and I have no issues with sticking. Some things to take into account if you are considering these pans: 1) they are pretty heavy. The steel is quite thick which is nice because I'm not at all worried about warping, an...

Bought a nakiri and larchwood cutting board from Gage earlier this year. This time ordering from their web site, it was well packed and shipped fast by Gage.
Thank You Gage!

I love my 240 mm fujiwara maborochi. Really sharp out of the box . Price really good if you compare with others websites. Definitely won’t be my last purchase with the sharp knife guys . What a great selection they have!!!!!!!!

Cutting vegetables is now a magical experience everytime.
Feels like cutting air and this particular metal doesn't rust. I can be interrupted 20m exceptionally and no orange spots when I come back.
Finish is gorgeous to look at everyday.
Also, the team has been incredible.
Reached out by email and they answered within an hour, very cooperative!

I love this knife.. it’s my 4th Japanese knife and my first Shiro Kamo. The fit and finish is beautiful. I love the handle and the stainless cladding on this is a joy.. It came out of the box super sharp but I’m looking forward to sharpening it myself. My others are all Aogami 2 so I’m interested to see the difference between them and AS on the stone. Fast delivery from Sharp as usual! Thanks again!

I wanted to have an example of Yu Kurosaki's work and it took me a long time to decide, as in my opinion, every line he makes is beautiful. I decided on the Fujin for a number of reasons. First, Arogami Super is one of my favorite knife steels. Although this was very sharp out of the box, a couple of passes on my black ceramic hone resulted in a laser edge. Secondly, the contrast of the textured finish, the kanji, the stainless, and the AS steel was exceptional, which is enhanced now that t...

Very beautiful craftsmanship, very likely to be the flashiest knife I ever own. Cuts like a dream even going through thicker root vegetables. Fully stainless design makes maintenance a breeze. Haven't owned it for very long but I look forward to using it every time.

This is my first Japanese knife and I am so happy with my purchase! Very sharp right out of the box and the pattern on it is stunning. I love the chunkier handle as well.
I've been using the Wusthoff (German) knives my dad got me when I first moved away for school for almost 20 years, and the biggest surprise for me was the weight difference. The Kenshiro is so lightweight by comparison. I would often default to my smaller 6" Wusthoff instead of the 8" because it was lighter and felt a bit more...

Came very sharp out of the box, fit and finish is excellent. The edge geometry is very, very good, nice and thin at the tip, dicing onions has never felt this good. Despite its length, it’s very good for more delicate work since it’s a k-tip knife. It’s also very beautiful. For the price, I highly recommend it.

This is one of the sharpest OOTB knives I have ever used. Sharp helped me pick this one out and I am completely satisfied with its performance. This is an amazing inclusion to my collection and highly recommend picking one up,

We purchased several of the Yu Kurosaki Gekko line of knives to make a set. My wife and I are both very pleased with them - both with the quality and the cutting performance. I watched a lot of the information on YouTube and was somewhat nervous about protecting them, but I feel like they are robust (for what they are).

The 195mm denka nakiri has been on my wishlist for a while, so I jumped on it when I saw it for sale. These knives are infamous for their less than stellar fit and finish, but I’m happy to report that the one I received from Sharp Knife Shop was excellent! I believe SKS does some quality control on the knives they sell, so that is appreciated. I can safely say that this knife is one of the best performers I have and will see lots of use.

This this is a laser. So much nicer in person as well. I’ve had a blast cutting with it. I will say that there is a bit of a learning curve as the top tip isn’t sharpened, so at first I was using it when slicing through onion etc. and had trouble, but once I used it properly, the knife became a blast to use.

I have no idea why I have been only using Western handles and always thought the Japanese style handles looked odd and “uncomfortable,” as though the handle is something you’re actually gripping (when it’s not). This knife is such a joy. Razor sharp, as others have commented. The flat profile is my first, and a good excuse to practice a different style other than my normal rock chopping. The slightly forward, towards the blade, weight balance is such a joy to use! I’ll never buy another western ...

Wonderful experience! This is the best vegetable knife I own. The blade seems to just fall through veggies. I can slice thinner and faster than ever! And the texture on the sides of the blade actually help food fall off the knife, unlike the large dimples on western Santoku knives. The VG-10 stainless was the right choice for me and my family for blade care/maintenance.

This Satori Nakagawa bunka is a silent beauty. A perfect marriage of looks and performance. Love the feel, the weight, the shinogi line and the grind. The tip is beautifully sculpted and not fragile. Thin and at the same time robust. The ebony handle brings balance and has great understated elegance. This katana looks absolutely gorgeous without being overly polished and without distracting adornments. Would have preferred hand chiseled kanji but the stamped do not look bad at all. The p...

I have 3 other knives of his, and I am very impressed with all of them, comfort , performance , and a pleasure to use. I needed a slicer and I am glad I chose this one. My only complaint is that it wasn't as sharp out of the box as it should have been, in my opinion , but I took care of it in short order.
I do recommend his work.

I’ve bought a few of these from SHARP and it’s one of the coolest stands I’ve seen. It’s definitely the easiest to assemble as it needs no tools and can fit up to 5 kitchen knives.

Light, nimble and sharp. The rounded spine and tapered handle is also a really nice touch that makes holding the knife higher in the hand a joy to use for certain tasks.

Whenever i go to buy a yoshikane, they get bigger & bigger, i can never pull the trigger on the smaller knives when for a few more $ I get a more steel, but this honesuki it has a great angle giving you that knuckle clearance that you dont get from pettys though.

I really love this knife! Shipped to California in about a week. Sharp out of the box and as SharpKnifeShop says it’s a no frills all around good knife. I wanted a knife that’s a bit thicker, with a flatter profile and a decent tip and this knife checks all the boxes. I don’t work in a kitchen anymore but this is my go to home knife. It’s decently priced and I used a 15% off code so I’m super stoked! Thanks to everyone at sharp knife shop and I really appreciate all the videos you guys have. I’v...

I'm very pleased with my Large Walnut Magnetic Knife Rack. It's a beautiful piece of figured walnut finished to a high standard, and the magnets are very strong.
I was also able to chose the piece I wanted from a lineup of 4 knife racks, which was a bonus. Shipping was fast and affordable also.
5 Stars all around !

This Kurosaki Yu Gyuto is a stunning example of Japanese knife artistry. The SG2 steel provides excellent edge retention and sharpness, while the hammered finish and elegant blade line make it visually outstanding. The balance and weight distribution are perfect, and the octagonal handle feels natural and secure. A must-have for any serious cook or knife enthusiast.

This Tosaichi Gyuto is by far one of the best and most beautiful knifes ive ever had.
Its light. Its tough. It comes with a lazer back bone and an even thinner edge.
The details on the handle are absolutely lovely. Makes it look classy and simple at the same time
Absolutely recommend it as a bougie workhorse.

The finish is subtle but sleek, and looks humble from afar but stunning up close. It has a stable-feeling, blade heavy balance, and obviously a nice flat edge. Ive only used it a handful times but I’ve found this ideal for mincing herbs, tip work, and slicing. It’s a laser and really sharp as anything, but it stands out to my eye as being wonderfully simple and elegant. My picture doesn’t capture the detail but it really looks so great in the hand.

This is my First Japanese knife! I was surprised at how light it is, and I have never used such a sharp knife! This seemed to be the best steal option for ease of maintenance, my wife really liked the stainless option. I hone it around 4x on each side before use and this thing has kept its razor edge all month! It’s small enough my wife is comfortable using it, and big enough for just about everything she does in the kitchen up to large potatoes. The edges are all sanded smooth for a comfortable...

This is my third Japanese knife from Sharp Knife and another excellent purchase. I had been waiting for this specific gyuto to become available, and it was well worth the wait.
The extra length (compared to a petty or bunka) is very welcome when cutting larger vegetables like cabbage. It glides through a variety of ingredients with impressive ease and smoothness.
It completes my knife set. For now.

This knife is SUPER sharp and easy to cut things into tiny bits. I love cutting shallots and onions with this thing. Really easy in the hand. Better than my German options in the drawer. I made an apple fritter the other day, and those apple slices were paper thin. Oh so good.
Thank you Masutani-san!

I bought this larch wood cutting board and this Moritaka Hamono 240mm gyuto from Sharp Knife Shop. The cutting board is beautiful and the knife is crazy sharp out of the box. It glides through everything I've thrown at it. I will not hesitate to buy knives and gear from Sharp Knife Shop. I love their YouTube videos. Thanks guys.

This Kato is very impressive. the shinogi line & tsuchime catch the light in very interesting ways - making the blade even more beautiful in person.
The spine is very nicely rounded and maintains its' thickness towards the tip - which makes the knife feel more robust than one might think.
Cutting performance is flawless of course, as the thickness behind the edge makes this a great option for someone who prefers a laserbeam.

It’s not as heavy as I expected—softer and perfect for my three Japanese knives. Since I live in Calgary, AB, where it’s a bit dry, I make sure to oil it after lightly washing it with soap.

This is a really nice set of standard sharpening stones. I just finished using them to thin and sharpen an aogami super petty knife from Yoshimitsu Hamono that I received a month ago. That knife didn't need sharpening, it was sharp before, now it's sharper than a mutherf*cker.
