Tony is great to work with and this 210 mm gyuto is sharp and quick
Great Performance at all. Comfortable handling. I love work in the kitchen since i got it
Hand forged 52100 carbon steel, 68mm tall, 240mm blade for under $100. Had to run it on the 1000 and 5000 stones and strop just a little to get it shaving sharp shape. Been holding that edge ever since. Also had to run some 220 sandpaper on the spine to round it out for comfort. Easy, peasy, Japanesey. Love that they included a blade guard with it. Shipped fast and got here in Hawaii in two days. Top notch service! Mahalo guys!
Buying a TF online can be a little dicey: I don't know any other smith who is reputed to have so much variation in grind and finish. So I reached out to Tony, and he was kind enough to send a short video of the knife as well as inform me that the pictures were showing the exact knife I'd receive. On arrival, the knife was just as pictured, and looks to be well ground, thin behind the edge, and without any obvious TF quirks. Out of the box edge was nice and sharp. I've used the knife twice so far and it is a great cutter. I'm very pleased with the product and the customer service.
I wanted a smaller knife with enough blade height to work on the board and this does it. Yoshimi Kato makes quality knives. I own three of his knives. 240mm Gyuto, 135mm Ko Bunka and 165mm SPG Strix Bunka. Thank you for your business Toushu Knife
Nice light well balanced knife. It’s rustic for sure, with visible grind marks and a couple of marks on the spine where the black coating has been scratched off showing fresh steel. It shines on the board; great geometry, steel, edge and well-installed handle. A very good everyday knife.

Very convenient. I placed it on my stone holder a strop my knives with ease.
Used it three times not since it arrived. Super soft on my knives and pretty easy to clean with the scraper.
This is my first but definitely not my last Nakagawa. The folks at Tokushu knife were a cut above assisting me in getting the knife. I would not only recommend this Nakagawa knife but using Tokushu knife as a go to organization for knife related questions and service.
This knife has great geometry, excellent fit and finish, and is wicked sharp right out of box. Nothing less would be expected because it is a Yoshikane. It meets and beats my expectations. I highly recommend this knife.
Very protective and well thought out. Leather, hardware and construction better than expected quality.
This is my first true laser, although I have a Myojin Cobalt gyuto and an a very old Yu Kurosaki Richmond laser gyuto. I chose this over the konosuke gs+ for its geometry, steel type and quality. I am very happy with the performance of this knife. It slices through hard and starchy veggies (potatoes, carrots, etc) like butter and the food doesn't stick most of the time.
I like it 165mm bunks very much. So far, as much as some of my Japanese knives. For the price, it’s worth it. I’m impressed.
This is a great knife to add to your collection. Not something i needed but im glad i picked it up. It is very sharp and develops a beautiful patina quickly. Its my second Dao Vua knife. Looking to get more.
This is my first nice knife. It cuts like a dream. Paper thin onions and everything else. It has stayed sharper longer than expected. I have large hands and wanted this particular knife because of how tall it is. It took me time to get used to its 240 length but I love it now.
I’m quite impressed with the way it feels using the Kiri clever. I wasn’t sure how I would like a blade that size and shape but I’m finding it an enjoyable addition to my kitchen. Not yet sure about edge retention. For the price,though, it’s close enough to a five. Greg.
Knife came razor sharp out of the box. Great cutter
I bought & received this exact knife pictured, it's even more amazing in person... Beautiful, well made, feels great in the hand. Touch heavier than my others, which I would have thought wouldn't feel as good but I love it.
This is officially my new favorite knife.
