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!
This is my first carbon steel knife and I’m really happy with it! The clad stamped pattern is really nice (rough yet somewhat glossy). The handle on this knife really stands out though my knife does not have as much contrast between the rosewood and ebony as the ones in the display picture. It also arrives dry so I put some mineral oil on it. This made the colors much deeper but reduced contrast even more. (The photos are without mineral oil)
Love this practical, economical, easy handling knife. The blade is a great value and blend of high carbon for edge retention and some lower maintenance alloys. This is my second dao vua 52100, other is a bunka. Great value for prep and lightweight cutting, slicing and dicing.
Great service I’ve had them not only put handles on my knives, but also do final sharpenings couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend them.
Great product, i’ve been using mine daily for over a year now held up very well. Only issue I’ve had is when it got wet once( soaked) I definitely recommend treating the leather.
Wow! This has quickly become my favorite Japanese knife. I'm vegetarian and a lot of my cutting is small vegetables and fruits - this knife is perfect for that. It is wicked sharp, extremely light, and stunningly beautiful. The balance is perfect for a pinch grip, and it’s just tall enough that I can guide it with one knuckle of my food-holding hand. Although it’s carbon steel, it has not been hard to care for - I wipe it before I put it down and clean it before I put it away. As with my prior purchases from Tokushu, Tony was extremely helpful as I make my selection. I'm very satisfied.
I order two knives via the website. The website did not have updated stock info on one of my selections but let me purchase anyway. The owner immediately reached out offering several options or a refund emphasizing he wanted to make it right. Love my knives and highly recommend Tokushu!
I recently bought a 165mm Dao Vua V2 bunka, and I enjoy it’s ease of sharpness! I wanted a longer knife with American 52100 steel, so I got a 240mm gyuto from the same brand! I liked the out of the box sharpness, the thin but stable grind, the polished smooth ebony and padauk wa handle, and the Kurouchi finish was awesome! Although I bought 1 separate blade guard in my order, Tokushu Knives actually provided an extra blade guard as a extra gift for free, thanks a lot!
Knife was well made, very thin, good quality steel, knife did not come absolutely scary sharp but was more then enough for cooking use, sharpened it to hair whittling sharp and it's held for daily use for the past 2 weeks, amazing company to work with, could not be happier
Although it may not be as stunning as rainbow Damascus at first glance, it becomes more comfortable to use over time. Highly recommended!
