Collection: Stainless core

Solid knife works as advertised. Very sharp out of box and the handle is good for what it is. Looks nice after some mineral oil and beeswax was allowed to soak in. I'm getting the single bevel pairing knife from the same maker because I liked this so much. I may re-handle this if I find or make a wa small enough. The texture and grind of this blade make it glide through protein easily for sure. I know it says that in the description, but this is my first time owning a deba and it really is something special. I will not be forcing a patina because I want the use of the knife to tell a story on the blade. Recommended.

Great knife for the price. Bought it for a young chef and he absolutely loves it.

This is my gateway yasugi Hitachi metal shiragami steel. I was specifically looking for a single bevel geometry. At this price I was fully prepared for the product to arrive not fully sharpened, and in need of touching up on whetstones before use. To my great surprise what arrived was the sharpest knife I'd ever cut with, and I have yet to need touching my new deba with a strop or whetstone, even after hours of cutting many kilograms of ingredients. I am beyond impressed with the high performance sharpness and edge retention. As a bonus side effect, the urasaki and hagane edge has taken on a most attractive iridescent blue purple green yellow orange natural patina after several uses , after wearing away the protective lacquer coating. The charm of the rainbow natural patina beauty has made me fall deeper in love. I thought I knew what sharp was from my experience honing and sharpening with whetstones, but the single bevel angle grind of this deba was on a whole different level
The shirogami2 steel edge retention is so impressive. I can honestly say I didn't know true sharpness until I got this shirogami2 deba by mikihisa ontoy hands and started using it. I would highly recommend this deba to anyone looking to experience what true sharpness and edge retention is, and to be initiated into the tamahagane cult of elite high carbon steel high performance chef knives. The clean cut slicing performance of this deba is like a surgical scalpel. I use it on vegetables mostly and it's become my most used kitchen knife at the moment. Amazing.

Super affordable. Nostalgia design. Use for wall decoration. Appreciate the shop bring in vase variety of craft made in Japan.

Reasonable priced. Legit item.
Received with good condition.
Good for fine sharpening. Not as soft as kitayama 8000, easier for newbie.

Excellent knife, excellent shop 👍

There is very fast service and communication with the sales team. Very reasonable price. That stone is a gem for any high-end knives owner, there is a pleasure to use it, and to see and feel the perfectly polished, razor-sharp edge.

Great product and fast shipping.

I ordered all polishing powders and have to say these powders are ethe best I've found. Packing is top tier.
Shipping is fast and easy.
Customer service is second to none. I needed help and it took less than day for them to take care of it.

I am satisfied with the knife.

Exactly as described and shown. Beautiful craftsmanship on the blade the rainbow touch on the handle, truly brings this beauty together. Perfect size for the pocket, sharp blade and comes in a cute little box you can keep the blade in!

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.

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.

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.

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.
