As usual, Shindo performance punches way above the price point. Also, the handles are nicer than shows in the pictures.
Huge to the point its perfect for any knife sure smooth edge retention. Add the strop shot to this an it’s completely on point for mirror polished edges!
This stuff is amazing, when ypu apply it to your leather strop. When you apply the heat from your heading element, you can actually see the leather condition agent, liquefied, absorbed in the leather.
This stuff is amazing, when you apply it to your leather strop. Then you apply the heat from your heating element/ hair dryer’ heating gun. Watching doing this you can actually see the leather conditioner agent, liquefied. To the point it absorbs in the leather disappearing. All seeing clearly the polycrystalline cutting emulsion strengthens crisping its bond, clinging dryed to the leather ready to poilsh edges to perfection
For the price the knife is very good, but with a little work the knife becomes amazing. The handle, blade taper, and balance are great. With an hour of work on the blade to round the spine and choile, then polishing the bevel to show the hamon makes the knife perfect.

The knife is actually better than depicted! And, Tony is a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't recommend Tokushu Knife more strongly!
Love the way our tokushu knife feels on the cutting board— they were certainly meant for each other! Such a satisfying feeling with every chop.

Great out of box knife, very sharp. Good profile for dicing
Imperfect, but fantastic.
Great knife out of box for the price, surprisingly sharp. With time and fine tuning, this knife will perform just as good as some $300 slicing knives out there. Well worth the money and would definitely buy another down the road if needed.
Bought it as a birthday present for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves the knife. Its one of the most beautiful knives ive ever seen. Seller was super nice, easy to work with, and accommodating.
Beautiful looking knife. Have not used yet, but looking forward to slicing up some picanha and getting the blue's to pop. Also the beautiful wa handle Tony put together for me was amazing. I appreciated his conversations and time he gave me. Will definitely be doing mor business with this shop in the future. Thanks. Carl.
Received this knife last week and have been using it at work for prepping before service. I don’t think I will use it during service yet, I want to break it in a little more. This blade is so sharp, and it cuts so nicely, I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a slightly larger blade. This is a great option if you are looking for a new workhorse knife!
Amazing customer service, amazing product 10/10.
As an amater home cook I know this knife was probably a little overkill but I wanted to get something that would stand the test of time.
I have already used the knife many times for many different purposes and it does not disappoint.
Laser sharp out of the box, not a defect in sight. After the first week of use on primarily vegetables the edge was slightly less of a laser but a gentle honing with the ceramic rod brought it right back.
Overall this knife is a 10/10 for me.
Dao Vua keeps killing it with these budget friendly knives. The new steel is nice, good edge retention, knife is slightly heavier than I anticipated. But it's also huge. So far I've used it to breakdown 12 full chucks, 24 eye rounds, and 4 boneless pork shoulders and I'm just now starting to feel a real need to sharpen. the daya fits perfect A razor out of the box, the handles are an upgrade from the v2 and all in all I'd recommend this to anyone shopping for a slicer.
I am a sous chef and I have been using this knife for larger scale prep projects. It has been with me about a month now and is still as sharp as the day I got it. Fit and finish are top notch. It’s very thin behind the edge and thin at the spine, but still feels sturdy when you hold it. I like the added length and weight of the 270mm but this knife is also very nimble for its size.
Tony helped me find this gorgeous knife. It is stunning and a laser. Thank you so much for your help
Tony and his exceptional shop went above and beyond in helping me with the selection of the perfect blade and handle. Their expertise and dedication is remarkable, and I am grateful for their outstanding service. Thank you so much for making this enjoyable!
