I really like the small footprint that allows for my favorite knives hear my board on my island. I rotate knives in and out from my wall magnet as my mood changes.

I’ve been a fan of the Tosaichi lineups and bought them a few times for myself and as gifts to friends. They’re good carbon steel knives to invest in for beginners because it’s a simple finish and it’s stainless cladding. Not to mention they’re affordable too!

Purchased this to match my AS 240mm Gyuto. Unfortunately I did receive the blade with the handle not properly sealed to the tang of the knife as Photographed. However I was met with a very apologetic email and was able to work with the team swiftly to get this taken care of. So in my personal opinion the customer and sales interaction is worth just as much as the satisfaction of ownership and they have done above and beyond on both occasions. So I will continue my business with this establishmen...

We love this cutting board. Not only is it beautiful (it looks great on the counter), but it offers a far better user experience than any other cutting board we use. We have a few knives from Sharp, and those knives plus this cutting board make the perfect team.

This knife is sooooo sharp and it looks awesome!! I have wanted this Moritaka Gyuto for a very long time. I’m glad I got the 240mm!! You can’t go wrong at all. Not accordion does with this knife. It rock Cho’s good but it really shines with a push/pull cut!! Learning new ways to prep is fun!

Very happy with this knife so far, still early days. So slicy. Very sharp as delivered, I haven’t needed to touch it up. The edge steel has blued up nicely as well. I’m not exactly sure how a stainless steel kurouchi finish will hold up with time and what it looks like with wear and tear. Maybe I will update if possible. But it is nice knowing it can handle a bit more than all carbon in general. So far, this knife is a great all purpose chef knife in my small home kitchen.

This is my first Japanese knife, i’m a noob. I’m a home cook, i use it since 1 month.
Esthetic : I love the hammer marks on the blade. The handle is well fit and the transition between the ferrule/spacer/handle is smooth. On the tang, trace of putty left over from filling the gape was present, but easy to remove. The spine edges can be more rounded, but not unpleasant to touch.
Performance : The cutting feel is awesome, sharp out of the box and no split when cutting dense vegetables like carr...

Was eyeing a Yoshikane SKD. I already had laser and middle weight knives so I chose Takahiro Nihei's Shinkiro.
First time handling it, it just felt... right. The 216 mm blade size is perfect.
Don't let 'workhorse' fool you. It was very, very sharp out of the box. Falls through ingredients. A real treat.
I wish I took better pictures. The blue and red patina makes the Damascus pop.

Amazingly sharp, first time using a gyuto over 8 inches and I'll never go back to anything shorter. It's light, the handle is great and is my go to knife now.

The finish of this knife is super beautiful but probably also the best performing Nakiri I’ve owned so far. I enjoy showing off these knives when I worked in the kitchen 😎

This is my first time buying these knife stands. I was skeptical by it at first because it seemed too simple, but it exceeded my expectations. The best part is there are no screws to set this up or gluing involved. And the leather is so smooth and gentle on the knives as well. Highly recommend!

Shaves hair with no pressure, takes a really sharp edge beautiful design. Knife came with the tip slightly bent to the side but was an easy fix with a high grit whetstone. Would buy again just to keep a spare for display because, man is it beautiful!

Love these knives. Excellent set with little redundancy. High quality! Sharp as heck. Fit and finish is impeccable. I will say the Nakiri handle was a bit dry. I contacted Ryusen and they said the walnut is sealed and does not need treating, but the handles looked much better with a bit of wax/mineral oil (I use the same stuff from Larchwood that I use on my cutting board). Note the magnetic knife block in the video is not the wall mounted one included in this package and the Miyabi knife...

Good knife for the price! Light and a good laser, and the balance point is in a comfortable spot. Anyone that wants a damascus knife, I'd recommend getting one of these types of knives!

I couldn’t be happier with everything I have purchased from Sharp Knife Shop. My new cutting board is great and I can’t believe how sharp the knife’s are. Everyone I have talked to at the Sharp Knife Shop has answered all my questions and have been very helpful. They took their time and helped me pick out what I needed. Thank you guys, keep up the good work.

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).

Just received my Nigara Hamono AS Tsuchime Migaki Gyuto 195mm and I couldn’t be happier. The craftsmanship is outstanding—razor sharp right out of the box, with a perfect size and weight that makes it incredibly comfortable to use. The green handle is not only beautiful but also provides a great grip. The tsuchime and migaki finish give it a stunning look, and the Nigara Hamono signature adds a touch of artistry. Being carbon steel, I’m mindful of rusting, but with proper care, it’s more than wo...

My first one. It’s their cheap edc version that you can beat the hell outta and get a new one if u want. Or you can just keep beating the hell out of it as it’s a quality piece of Japanese work. The guy who makes these family has been making these knives since they invented them. 4 or 5 generations. That alone should sell this knife.

Very enjoyable knife for heavy work, carving big veggies with this is a pleasure! It’s very satisfying also just to look at it with the oak handle and the beautiful work on the blade. Sharpening wise, I would not recommend this to beginners since 24cm is quite the size but if you know a little about sharpening it’s not the hardest one to get back in shape .

I have loved using the beginner's sharpening kit. I decided to buy the sharpening kit to practice on my German steel knives (Hammer Stahl) before purchasing a Japanese knife from Sharp. The overall experience has been both effective and therapeutic. After a few attempts with solidifying the correct angle and consistent scratch pattern even the lower quality German steel cuts through harder vegetables like butter and the strop has been instrumental in holding the edge much longer than when using ...

Fantastic knife. Home cook here. Overall knife came super sharp, is really comfortable in the hand and has a good weight that makes it feel robust but still well balanced. Needs just a little bit of rounding on the spine and choil to make it that next level of comfortable but is by no means uncomfortable without it. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to get into Japanese chef knives.

I just had to have this 206mm (8.11in) Takeshi Saji STRIX Gyuto the moment that I saw it. This entire thing is polished and shines from tip to tip; The mirror-polished blade looks like it has a fancy stamped pattern on it that I find appealing. But believe me, seeing it in-person is more amazing than just a shiny object; Now aside from the wonderful aesthetic, I like that this is a stainless steel product, a pro to combat rust, as everything rusts in Hawaii, where I reside. I am aware that it...

The best way to describe this knife is calling it “the love child of a Nakiri and a Chinese Cleaver.”
It’s tall, it’s heavy and has a forward weighted blade. Its thin edge and bevel geometry doesn’t wedge on big vegetables like yams or cabbage, and has excellent food release thanks to the hammered stainless cladding. The edge profile is like a gentle smile similar to a Chinese Cleaver but with a bit of a rounded tip that allows you to rock/chop and use a variety of western cutting techniques. ...

The 140 grit Atoma Diamond Plate is a nice addition to my sharpening quiver. My stones were showing definite dishing and a few dressing strokes with the diamond plate left them truly flat. Now my sharpening feels more professional. As recommended and for the sharpening I do (kitchen and outdoor knives) the 140 seems to fit the bill perfectly.

My first real experience with a deba. I am not much for processing fish but I prefer a deba over a honesuki for chicken butchery. The thicker spine just seems safer around bones and joints , worth a try for yourself. As for the knife, it is made by Toru Takamura and sharpened by Tateo Myojin. These are heavy hitters in the Japanese knife world, Tateo who is a master sharpener of single bevel knives and the father/trainer of Naohito from Tetsujin.

I bought this knife as my "workhorse" for all those slightly more complex tasks, and I do not regret it. It is still a great slicing knife capable of precision work and great for cooked protein like meat and fish.
Sharp recommended it, and to fit my Ryusen Hamono Blazen Knives, they customized the handle of the knife for me. So don't get confused by its look; it is customized.
Great Service and great work. These guys know what they are doing and talking about!

I gave this knife to my best friend who is a former professional chef. I thought his head would explode when he opened the box. It was so much fun watching him slice, dice, and whatever else professionals do with a really good knife. It is a beautiful knife and he had a huge smile while using it. Very happy.

Wanted a small kiritsuke shaped knife to use when needing to make quick little cuts. Learned a lot about Japanese knifes from Sharp Knife’s awesome YouTube videos and that helped me in deciding on this particular knife with its beautiful SG2 Damascus style. It’s razor sharp out of the box and a joy to cut with.

And every single one of the is stunning

This is a very cool addition to my collection. It serves me well with veggie prep, and it can sub in for petty knives or medium sized gyoto. It feels nicely balanced.

Beautiful, razor sharp performance from this knife, and excellent build. A very serious sharpness level as well, especially when stropped! This feels like Japan-the past, but with a taste of Japan- the future.
