Japanese knife reviews

So this is a little shorter at 48mm tall at the heel, but it's good enough. That's about my only beef.
This knife is a total sleeper as long as the White 2 holds up. Initial impressions are very high. Excellent pure cutter with pretty solid food release. The Urushi is nice and well-executed. The spine is even polished! Just a fantastic value overall very impressed initially.

Fast shipping. Not to expensive. Impressing craftmanship. Beautiful and very practical knife. Fits well and comfortably in the hand. Perfect balance. Flawless and sharp.

Great knife. Good weight, fit in my hand. Love that wood handle...it is beautiful!

Shipped very fast, and my knife was more beautiful than it was in the pictures. Well balanced knife.Happy!

My very first Japanese knife and I have new feelings when using it. Outstanding handle; razor-sharp right out of the box. I only need to learn how to re-sharpen it myself. Better than I had anticipated when I placed the order. I'm going to get another one. Delivered in 4 days to a distant location. Very professional service and product.

Excellent size. The balance and finishing of the knife are great.

It's ideal for cooking at home. The handle and blade have a great look. Right out of the box, the knife was razor sharp. This knife is something I would suggest since it has altered the way I cook.

Excellent knife, light and sharp, ideal for precision cutting. Quick enough to receive.

It's well-balanced, and the handle fits comfortably in the palm. The attention to detail is incredible.

Excellent knife that is extremely sharp and can handle a variety of tasks in the kitchen. Because of its extreme sharpness, it takes some time getting used to. It's a pleasure to work with once you realize that. It comes highly recommended.

My son received the knife as a birthday present. He absolutely loved it. I might have to plan another knife surprise for him. Also, the delivery to Germany was lightning fast. Order to delivery in Germany took only 4 days.

Definitely a good investment.

Excellent knife, exactly what we needed. Good balance and maneuverability. So far, the edge has held up well. For little utilitarian duties, this lade form is ideal, and it also looks wonderful on the knife storage rack.

What a lovely blade. Its gorgeousness is enhanced by the handle's uniqueness. Furthermore, the quality is outstanding. I'm only a newbie chef. However, I use it for everything. So adaptable. I'll be purchasing more. Not to be overlooked. The service was excellent. 

Instead of rocking through the blade with a nakiri, you cut in an up-and-down motion. When you're done cutting, the wide blade allows you to scoop up a lot of food. Just love it!

A fantastic knife with a nice figure that is quite uncommon. Very sharp. Customer service is excellent.

I purchased two sujihiki from Knife-Life Japan and am extremely pleased with them; they are of great quality and have a razor-sharp edge. It's well worth the money.

Beautiful knives, and knowledgable and polite staff! I only buy knives from this website! My Hokiyama Sakon Gyuto 210 knife, which I bought with the help of their manager, Anton, is fantastic. Anton is a treasure of information and a pleasure to deal with.

Well-balanced and comfortable to hold. Very little pressure needed to use. Real Damascus steel!

It seems like a well-balanced medium-weight Gyuto in hand, but it transforms into a highly accurate laser as you start cutting with it. It was sent the same day I purchased it, which is excellent service.
