This knife has wonderful balance and proportions. The owner was helpful and communicative—I’m glad I found this resource for exceptional knives and handles.
This knife is amazing. I own many Miyabis, Shuns, Yaxells, etc and this Dao Vua is now my favorite out of all of them. Super thin and super sharp and the tall blade makes it more useful that you can imagine. I love the 52100 steel. It gets screaming sharp and stays that way. It is starting to patina nicely already and I am considering getting another as a back up should something every happen to this one. The only complaint I have is the brass spacer on the handle is not flush with the handle. It in no way effects the performance of the knife so I willing to overlook that considering the price. This thing is a work horse and I highly recommend picking one up before they go up in price.
Shipping was fast, the board arrived in perfect condition. They did a great job.
The cutting board is grate it's really helped to retain the edge on my knives the only issue I have is i wish I have got a bigger board
Great sleeve. Keeps my precious knives from getting damaged. Very pleased.
This makes stropping more fun. I usually leave it a bit tacky on the leather, and it puts a mirror wicked edge on knife blades. Must have for your sharpening kit.
Excellent quality made strop. It’s got a great width to handle all size knife blades.
Gets a wicked sharp edge. Very pleased with it.
Loved the product, It looked smaller on the photos so i had my doubts but is the perfect size for home use (wich i intended), also id like to mention the efforts of the customer service team, they were really helpful through all of the process and to be honest i Will buy here again mostly because of the excellent way they handled the problems that i had and the all round excellent work they did.
Perfectly balanced, it just slips through produce. Effortlessly cuts large beets with zero sticking or wedging. It’ll be part of my permanent prep rotation.
First time using the diamond shot for my strop and I am very pleased with the results!
Great little knife. Excellent craftsmanship. Will be my Breakfast prep knife.
Thx to Tony for the exemplary customer service. Extremely pleased..
Absolutely love these knives. Fit and finish, quality, and over all really fun knives. Thanks for having it!
I went to the store in Chattanooga and was able to handle several knives. This one felt well balanced and looked great. The damascas pattern is intricate and the blade is especially sharp since I added the sharpening service. I am very happy with this knife.
I have used this knife for over a year. The edge stays sharp and the blade is easy to keep clean. I use a drop of camellia oil on the blade after I wash it. The tsuchime finish does help prevent food sticking to the blade.
This knife is so exquisite and exceeded my expectations. Especially the perfectly balanced feel and the great combination of steel and brass, it really is like a rainbow in the sky. Coupled with the seller's excellent customer service, I highly recommend them. Thank you!
Wanted a Bunka to complement other knives in the drawer but keep the investment down as it is one of many knives we have to use. Dao Vua really hit the sweet spot. Feels great in hand and certainly is sharp enough and should retain a good edge. The 52100 is a great compromise between edge retention and general performance eg not so reactive. Execution of handle and blade are just fine. It should be a workhorse. If they made a petty I'd grab one as well.
