Try pricing out a Japanese knife of similar length then come back here and buy this. The fit and finish on my example is better than on some artisan Japanese knives that are half the length and double the price. Can't comment on how well it holds its edge yet, but everything else is solid and it comes with a perfectly fitting saya!
Here are some of the specs missing from the product page:
weight: 252 grams
edge length: 335mm
blade height: 40mm
spine above choil: 2.55mm
spine near tip: 1.2mm
It balances extremely well with a pinch grip, so I wish they'd make a heavier 350mm or even a 400mm version with a thicker spine, stiffer blade and a standard sujihiki tip. I'd buy that one too.
Fantastic experience! The knife is absolutely beautiful and made the perfect gift. A huge thank you to Tony, who went above and beyond to make the whole experience special!
I’ve had some time to go over the new 300mm Moritaka Aogami Super sujihiki, and my first impressions have held up.
The blade has a true workhorse grind with plenty of stiffness, but it’s thinned out exactly where it needs to be behind the edge. The profile is dead straight, and the balance point sits about an inch forward of the choil, giving it a slightly blade-heavy feel that I think suits a 300mm slicer well. Razor sharp out of the box. 150mm walnut handel. Fit and finish are honest and functional rather than flashy, which is part of Moritaka’s 700 year appeal.
At this price point for a 300mm slicer you will be hard pressed to find a better knife.
Great service and fast shipping from Tokushu.
This was a birthday gift for my son who loves to cook. When he asked for this brand of knives, I know it wouldn't go by the waist side. The pictures don't do them justice! We will be coming back for the rest of the Rosewood collection. ~ Darlene
Most Japanese knife aficionados stick to traditional handles paired with traditional knife making techniques such as Damascus steel, but Niagara Hamono’s Anmon pushes the envelope from craftsmanship to art form. His raindrop Damascus pattern is like no other, and paired with the Ironwood European handle, the knifes ergonomics breaks from traction to create a perfect blend between east & west.
I absolutely love this knife. Wasn't crazy about the handle, not that it was ugly it's a pretty piece of walnut but I'm just picky and replaced it with a custom-made handle to achieve the look I was after. In terms of Performance this thing is excellent. No floppy blade here this thing is solid. AS steel is one of my favorites. I used a little bit of micro mesh on the finish the smooth it out and blend it a bit, pretty sticky from the factory. All in all this blade punches way above its price point, it's one of the finer 240mm knives I bought at this price point. Tokushu Knife always has fast shipping to me and I've never had a call their customer support, Great job guys🙌🏻🛥️🎣🐟🔪🍣
This knife punches well above its price, especially on sale. It glides through everything I’ve thrown at it. The handle is extremely comfortable as well. Edge has held up well in the short time I’ve owned. Still cuts tomatoes like new out of the box. The sharpening service add-on produced a very keen edge. If you’re looking for a Sanjo style workhorse that doesn’t wedge, this is it!
Extremely sharp out of the box. The knife is very light and thin. A true laser with Shibata’s quality in everything he makes.
It looks better in person, and the knife was delivered scary sharp. It fits well in the hand and has a secure lock up and pocket clip. The flipper feature works quick and smooth.
Excellent knife, great balance! Very happy with a purchase!
Tokoshu Knife had the large boards at the best price. Board cuts like a dream. Food stays put. Clean up is a breeze. Hot water with soap. Scrub, rinse and dry with a lint free towel. All curing styles are no problem on this board. I love it !! My only regret is I should have purchased one earlier. So much better than my wood boards.
Great service and delivery. Knife arrived promptly and as advertised.
This knife far exceeded my expectations. It may not be a perfection knife, but that’s not what I’m looking for, I want an every day use knife. The craftsmanship, uniqueness with the price, you can’t beat Dao Vua
This my second yoshikane so no surprise that this knife feels amazing in the hand and the white #2 still gets grazy sharp and the prisma knife handles are amazing there a little bigger than most wa handles but they fit my big hands perfectly. I woukd definitely recommend a yoshikane to any one wanting to buy a serious knife for every day use.
Feels great in hand; lightweight and very sharp. It’s my second Yoshimi Kato knife and it will get heavy use.
Great comoany great product great blackmsith absolutley beautiful exaclty as pictured
I ordered a Shigeki Tanaka from the Fine Folks @ Tokushu Knife and once again I was very pleased and satisfied by my choice! This knife quickly became one of my favorites from right out of the Box! Great feel, finish work, appearance and sharpness were noticeably evident right out of the Gate! So happy I spotted it @ Tokushu! Special Thanks to Tony who always has my back with great advice and suggestions! He is a Super Person to interact with! Thanks so Much! Stay Sharp! Todd
