It’s really exceptionally light and nimble in my hand and the handle has a natural earthy feel that I love.Its been a pleasure using it since it arrived.I love it.
I love the cutting board i received and how fast i got it as well! Will definitely be back for more later
Love this shop! Great selection. Amazing customer service. Friendly and knowledgeable. Boris is the Man!
Got my Dao Vua cleaver in recently and it's one of the best knives I've ever owned in its price range. It came wicked sharp(paid for the sharpening, Tokushu did a good job) and clean. The handle is sturdy and feels good in the hand. I like the patina on the back half of the blade, gives it character. 5/5 I'm probably getting a few more of their carbon steel knives in the future.
This knife can go through bone and keep going without chipping, great addition to the collection
I had a few Hi-LOW cutting board in the skin color. The wife prefers the black Hasegawa and the Parker Asahi.
Just a beautiful knife.
razor sharp out of the box
Great price, outstanding service, fast shipping . highly recommend
Great shape and nice edge, the handle had a little expoxy on it, but overall great quality
I was most surprised by how light this knife is in the hand. Yet it is perfectly balanced and basically falls through whatever you’re cutting. Awesome
Bought this as more of a collectors item than anything else but i absolutely will end up using it. The size and profile are perfect for my needs and the spine and choil are beautifully polished. Grind is nicely tapered, thin at the edge but sturdy at the spine. This was a grail knife for me and i dont regret spending the money for it.
They're blade guards, and they do what they are supposed to. I did have a problem with the 210 mm guard; it doesn't quite cover the entire edge of the Tojiro DP 210 gyuto, but it is only about half a millimeter—just something to point out.
This knife is my dream! I love the weight, the feel of the traditional Japanese handle, and the incredible sharpness of the blade. The customer service is also great. I plan to purchase additional knives from them.
Kyohei Shindo's forged S grind is superb and I'm always amazed by how thin his makes his knifes. It just glides through whatever product I'm working with. Perfect. Mine came in at 183mm long and 74mm tall, so a bit larger than the general specs and that's normal for Shindos.
I'm unsure of the Moritaka's sharpness from the factory, but after using the sharpening service recommended in the product description, I'm incredibly impressed by its sharpness. It's truly the sharpest knife in my collection.
As usual, Shindo performance punches way above the price point. Also, the handles are nicer than shows in the pictures.
