I received my new Gyuto and it’s everything I was hoping for. This shop was awesome to work with. The best price I found and was shipped very fast. I have since ordered a strop from this shop and also received I very quickly. Top notch seller.
this knife is great. I went back and forth on what kiritsuke gyuto to get and ended up getting this tokushu white #2 kiritsuke. I love it. Will be purchasing from here again in the future.
I came to Tokushu looking for a specific knife that turned out to be out of stock, but that actually ended up being a blessing in disguise. I was looking for a heirloom piece to commemorate a milestone, and their access to truly elite blacksmiths. is incredible. I was able to pair a top-tier Takeshi Saji with a custom Cafer Ayan handle that fits my exact taste—something most other shops just don't offer. If you want a generic knife, go anywhere. If you want to build a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with white-glove consultation, go to Tokushu. The experience was next level.
I love the knife super sharp out the box the packaging is superior for a knife at this price point the knife looks and feels like it is made out of good materials the knife has a really nice weight to it and a fantastic balace point i love this knife i definitely recommend this knife it cuts like butter.
This is my first REALLY nice knife, I have a couple that came in sets but nothing to this level. Today it cut through a piece of chuck roast in a single motion, for the entire 3 pounds of it! It glides through onions and veggies with a smooth precision. Its also very easy to keep clean with some warm water and a dry off. Overall I am thrilled with this knife and appreciate Tony so much for his help in guiding me through a few options!
I could not be happier. The handle is beautiful and fits the knife perfectly. I don't normally upgrade handles, but this really elevates the knife -- its' functional and looks great, too.
I'm over the moon happy with this knife. I can't put down. I have many nice Japanese knives and just discovered this blacksmith. I have too many bunkas but this is hands down my favorite.
I had an old Emeril knife block set that just wouldn't keep an edge...was a bit uncomfortable to hold and sharpen with a chunky bolster and handle. I decided it's time to upgrade.
The knife is beautiful, the balance is more forward-focused so push chops are smooth. It needed some time with the whetstone but runs smooth through everything now. Still stainless, I'm not worried about babying it. Has been a joy to use so far.
A sharp knife and well made
When looking at the photos it looks like a brass spacer but it's a light colored wood. This was my mistake for not reading everything properly so no marks off
This knife is the best knife I've ever used, and Tokushu is awesome. Incredible customer service and helped with all of my questions so I have all the tools I need to keep this knife in perfect condition long term!
I have them on all my knifes , ones in the drawer, when I take to friends house . Must have for 4.00 each . I have extras that I gift to family and friends. Lots of sizes .
I honestly don't know how to use a 350mm Sujihiki Slicer, but I bought one anyway because... come on it's a sword! The handle is superb. Ripping sharp (Thank you Tokushu!). I can't wait to use it on my brisket when the summer breaks. I picked up a some chuck just to have something to cut and it was pretty wild slicing through giant hunks of meat in one smooth motion. You know you need one, just look at it! Shipped remarkably quickly, and safely packed.
An absolute unit of a blade. Incredibly thin and RAZOR sharp (Thank you Tokushu!). Fit and finish are fantastic. It's surprising how fast you get used to a 270mm knife. I was doing fine work with it as easy as my 210mm. The width really helps when chopping vegetables. It has great balance right at my pinch grip. It has a real rustic charm, and a gorgeous handle. It performs better than some of my more expensive Japanese knives. I've named him Onion Slayer. It shipped remarkably quickly, packaged very well protected. I bought this thinking I was going to pick up a project knife to play around with, but ended up with my new favorite knife. This is definitely the best place to get Dao Vua knives from. Pictured with the 350mm Dao Vua Special Slicer.
Best knife bag you can buy hands down. Have purchased a few knife rolls and bags and this wins by far.
Very nice quality Japanese knife that was sharpened by Tokushu before shipment. Excellent communication and quick shipping.
Was window shopping for an SG2/R2 bunka and finally came across a beautiful piece of steel. Used it today for service and so excited to keep using it further.
I received my order and the box had clearly been smashed by UPS and the tip of the knife was severely bent. I emailed Tony to see what my options were and he responded in 4 minutes and a new order was placed in 8 minutes for a replacement knife. On top of that it was Friday afternoon so even more impressive.
As for the knife, it was extremely well balanced in the hand, and testing the sharpness of the rest of the blade it was razor sharp. Between the customer service and the quality of the knife I will definitely be ordering more knives from here.
