Kyohei Shindo Warikomi Azul #2 Kurouchi 170 mm Nakiri SÓLO HOJA

The knife is great. Thin behind the edge and sharp out of the box. More importantly, I just wanted to say that the folks here have gone above and beyond in terms of customer service. These folks really care about making sure you get what you want.

i got promoted recently and wanted to treat myself to a new knife,the guys at tokushu took care of me. they added a maple turquoise handle and a matching saya. i own a shindo bunka as my first carbon steel and adore it. shindo knives are cost effective, cuts like a laser and has solid food release. only downside is they feel delicate and light weight. i was a extremely happy when i unboxed the nakiri. the nakiri is more of a tall nakiri and has more length to it then most standard nakiris with solid heft. its exactly what i was looking for.

I am really pleased with this knife, I wasn't 100% sure what to expect as this was my first nakiri, but wow is it fun to cut with! Very nimble, and I was also pleasantly surprised with how sharp it arrived right out of the box, I don't feel the need to take it to my stones at all yet. As others have said, customer service is also great, I had the stock handle this knife comes with replaced with another handle at no additional fee which was very nice!

Mine unfortunately came with an S-warp and some unpolished edge spots. There are vendors that would’ve said you get what you pay for.. but Tokushu went above and beyond to make it right.

3 stars for my knife, 6 stars for service. Would not hesitate to buy again.

I was skeptical about this blade before purchasing. Thinking under $100 for a nakiri, my expectation was low.
I was quite surprised to find an extremely well made blade, very thin, plus the sharpness from the jump was incredible.
