Higonokami Folding Knife Aogami warikomi Large 75 mm All Black

Good craftsmanship, folding is smooth. The all black color is looking cool. Small verdict, the edge not as sharp. Will sharpen it when got free time.

Blue steel 2 Kurouchi Kiritsuke knife: 165 mm

The delivery is quick, around 3-4days. Packaging is good, ordered item received in good condition. The price is affordable for a aogami2 knife. The size is just nice for a modern household, at least for myself. Love the k-tip. And the craftsmanship is awesome, nothing to complain for the price.

Daisuke Nishida white 1 Nakiri knife 170 mm Kurouchi hand forge welding

The parcel is well packed. First time use Nakiri, mainly use to cut vegetables, initial impression is positive compare to other shape knife, the taller profile and the flat tip is very handy in transfer material from cutting board. Love the knife so far, especially the beautiful craftsmanship, unbeatable for its price. The seller is very responsive and patience.

Good feeling when sharpening

This stone makes a nice slurry which helps during sharpening. I really like the feedback of the stone. It is softer than a Naniwa or shapton.

Great knife, great price.

Gets sharper and holds an edge better than my old VG10 santoku. It is ground with a thinner profile, making it a more efficient slicer. They sent me the exact knife that was in the picture. Shipped quickly. I am very happy with this purchase.

Quality Steel, cheap price

A very good knife. I have some expensive stainless steel, but this carbon steel knife is actually sharper, easier to sharp, and retain sharpness better than more expensive knifes. Geometry came little bit wrong (too thick and didnt keep a correct form of the edge), but if you enjoy knifes, you should have some sharpening stone to correct geometry from time to time. It took me 5 minutes on the #240, 5 minutes on #800, 5 minutes #1200 and finally 5 minutes on shapton glass #2000 to have razor sharp knife. Im actually extremely happy with the purchase, considering the price and the excellent knife it is
