It is absolutely amazing! The Damascus pattern is stunning, and the blade is incredibly light, thin, and extremely well-sharpened. I've been using it to slice everything and it’s already developing a beautiful rainbow patina.
This is the most beautiful knife I’ve ever bought. It’s light in the hand, perfectly balanced large work. You can feel the history in your hand.
In many uses my go to knife, an excellent nakiri. These and taller vegetable knives do GREAT work on medium to hard cheeses too, paper thin slices of Emmenthaller are a breeze compared to a chef knife.
If you are a purist, this is the saute pan for you. Great heat distribution, the handle makes cooking very enjoyable, I cook with the handle off and just install the handle when I need to move the pan. Not ideal for tossing, but amazing for seating.
Would definitely recommend.
Really happy, great service and products, shipped to the antipodes with haste.
Trusted, customer focused and knowledgeable.
The Cypress and light horn handle perfectly complement the Kasumi finish of the blade. The workmanship of the blade is top notch and Myojin San once again proves why his skills are so in demand. Cutting feel and performance are the best I have ever felt. I loved this knife so much I reached out to Tony about acquiring a Sujihiki from Tetsujin, he promptly replied with options available and I just got my matching 240mm k tip sujihiki with Cypress and light horn handle in the mail. First rate service and products with a willingness to help one create a custom piece.
Awesome, was able to get aogami super steel for under $150!
Recommending to everyone!!!
Tony is rad. Always helpful and customer service is top notch. This knife looks great and is super sharp. The 180 is a good counter size to 8” for small tasks.
Beautiful knife. BESS sharpness of 148 out of the box. Fit and finish excellent. Recommended store.
The knife is superb, service impeccable. Don't hesitate to purchase from Tokushu, thank you Tony!
The knife is balanced well feels good in the hand and was razor sharp right out of the box i would definitely recommend this knife to anyone looking to get there first Japanese knife or even add another knife to there collection thank you tokushu knife for another grate knife in my collection i definitely look fwd to doing more business with you in the future
I couldn't be happier with my Tetsujin knife that Tony helped me pick out. I also ordered a few gifts from here that were a total hit!
The fit and finish on the knife is well executed and it comes very sharp out of the box. Reasonably priced for a hand forged blade and would recommend. Also was nicely over boxed by Tokushu for safe shipping.
This knife is almost as thin as a laser, cuts effortlessly through vegetables and is razor sharp. Would definitely buy from again.
As always, Takamura provides a delightful tool to work with. I will admit that the 210mm is kind of my favorite, but the 180mm is such a dexterous and versatile blade. I know a couple accomplished chefs who actually prefer this length.
I've become enamored with Takamuras, so when I saw a Japanese handle with what I was told was superior fit and finish, I knew it was going to happen.
Tokushu has been absolutely amazing to work with, and the blades arrived in superb condition. The edge on the Kei Kobayashi is beautifully sharp, out of the box.
