Awesome, was able to get aogami super steel for under $150!
Recommending to everyone!!!
Tony is rad. Always helpful and customer service is top notch. This knife looks great and is super sharp. The 180 is a good counter size to 8” for small tasks.
Beautiful knife. BESS sharpness of 148 out of the box. Fit and finish excellent. Recommended store.
The knife is superb, service impeccable. Don't hesitate to purchase from Tokushu, thank you Tony!
The knife is balanced well feels good in the hand and was razor sharp right out of the box i would definitely recommend this knife to anyone looking to get there first Japanese knife or even add another knife to there collection thank you tokushu knife for another grate knife in my collection i definitely look fwd to doing more business with you in the future
Amazing product. The shipping was fast and it was well packaged.
Amazing …. Razor sharp great feel and balance !
I couldn't be happier with my Tetsujin knife that Tony helped me pick out. I also ordered a few gifts from here that were a total hit!
The fit and finish on the knife is well executed and it comes very sharp out of the box. Reasonably priced for a hand forged blade and would recommend. Also was nicely over boxed by Tokushu for safe shipping.
This knife is almost as thin as a laser, cuts effortlessly through vegetables and is razor sharp. Would definitely buy from again.
As always, Takamura provides a delightful tool to work with. I will admit that the 210mm is kind of my favorite, but the 180mm is such a dexterous and versatile blade. I know a couple accomplished chefs who actually prefer this length.
I've become enamored with Takamuras, so when I saw a Japanese handle with what I was told was superior fit and finish, I knew it was going to happen.
Tokushu has been absolutely amazing to work with, and the blades arrived in superb condition. The edge on the Kei Kobayashi is beautifully sharp, out of the box.
Got it as a gift for my husband, he loves
I’m a big fan of Shibata knives in general, but this one is a strong contender for my favorite. It’s such an agile slicer and if you’ve got big hands, the height will keep your knuckles comfortably clear of your cutting board. Fit and finish are flawless with all the little touches you’d expect from the koutetsu line (polished spine, gorgeous choil-shot, etc.). Highly recommend!
All I can say is WOW! Been just staring at it ever since I received it. It cuts as well as I imagined it would as I have other knives by the sharpener. I love the handle and have to get it put on something else too. Thanks so much!
Got this knife a few months ago, I love it! Razor sharp and comfy in the hand. Also shipping and communication was best I’ve had.
Was delivered great. Excellent packaging. Had to hone and strop out of the box but otherwise excellent
Best Knive & even better service
I HIGHLY recommend this shop & service. Recently dived into Japanese style knives with a dao vua and elected to go with the sharpening service. When I got the knife, I was impressed with the quality of the knife for something under $100. Unfortunately, it was not as sharp as I thought it would be and let them know in the survey, especially with the sharpening service. To my surprise, the owner reached out to me and offered to correct the issue. Now, this knife is amazing
The team reached out to me and offered to sharpen the knife. I am very impressed with the sharpening service. Further more I am more impressed that they reached out to make it right. Thank you guys!!
The Tokusho White #2 Gyuto is a wonderful knife one that I’m proud to add to my collection. It has a good weight not as heavy as my Hatsukokoro knives but still comfortable in the hand. The edge is sharp right out of the box so I took it through its pace. I wanted to see for its size how would it fare doing intricate work like thinly slicing green onions lengthwise for my ramen and mincing shallots. I worked out flawless! Even for its size I can control the tip of the knife as it cut. After working with it for a while I took it to the strop and did a few passes and the edge was good as new.
Also I want to make a “Shout Out” to Customer Service for all their help.
This is a great knife from Dao Vua - large, sturdy, and sharp without being too thick behind the edge. I wouldn't use this for chopping through pork bones as it's carbon steel and thinner than many cleavers, but the k-tip and thinness allow for a fair amount of detail work and the large blade is excellent for mashing and scooping.
I recently purchased the Dao Vua 52100 Tall Petty after keeping an eye on the company for several years. As a maker working to emerge from under the shadow of a reputation of sub-par steels and only decent fit & finish, I've long been curious about their work - particularly when their newer V2 and V3 lines began to emerge and rumors began to grow of knives well made and worth every penny.
Friends, the rumors are true - this petty showed up sharp out of the box (thanks Tukushu!) with excellent fit & finish on the ebony & padauk handle, with a nice rounded spine and comfortable lie in the hand. It performs well, has great knuckle clearance, and is a pleasure to use. Is it the best knife I've ever owned? No, it is not. But for the price it's an absolute steel and is quickly becoming my first go-to petty.
