Knife came with fast shipping to Hawaii. Had some questions about the knife and response was very quick. Will buy more knives in the future
I bought 2 knives for my wife because she is an avid cook. These knives cut like everything is butter and they look amazing. I will be buying more knives from Tokushu soon.
I contact Tokushu via their online chat to design a custom Nigara knife set. The agent who worked with me was responsive, thorough, and extremely professional in helping me to find the ideal solution, going as far as staging the knives together and sending me pictures so that I would know what the looks like when it arrived. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and will absolutely return for future business.
Perfect to use with your expensive knives to keep them sharp. The board comes in several sizes we got one that’s a little smaller and it has turned out perfect for us. Tokushu Knife is great to deal with the website is easy to use , pricing is very competitive and shipping was fast.
Beautiful red handle, pristine blade, incredibly sharp out of the box - I like it just as much as the last Takamura I bought from you guys!
I've looked for a long time for an affordable Asian made knife at a good price. Researched and found this wonderfully well balanced super sharp beauty!
Good! Service was great from Anthony who helped me out when picking the best handle dimensions for my knife.
I'm 81 years old and spend hundreds of dollars often having my Wusthof and Shun knives sharpened because I didn't realize there was Pro-Soft cutting board available. In just a few weeks I can see the difference it makes in preserving a razor sharp edge that's required for the hobby Asian cooking I do. In addition, a shipping problem occurred that was going to make delivery late for special event and they shipped replacement order overnight. My next order will be a pair of their knives for myself and son's family.
The Yoshimi Kato 240mm is just what I needed. It's a razor sharp edge right out of the box. I stopped it and that made it even better. It will take it's place with my Kobayashi and Ryusen knives. Thank you very much Tokushu!
The Tokushu Knife team was super accommodating and prompt in their assistance - my initial product had a slight defect and the team at Tokushu Knife replaced it immediately with no additional questions asked. They were quick to respond and send a replacement - as for the knife the Damascus steel is detailed and of amazing quality. Good heft to the handle and blade, and is superbly sharp.
Laser sharp out of the box (well-packaged btw) and feels great in hand. Happy to add this to my rotation.
Excellent…that is all you can say about it. Wish I had ordered a different handle though
Asked for sharpening, showed up nice & sharp. Feels good to use, handle is a nice ratio, and works well for a longer knife. Liking it for roast & larger cuts so far, doing big cooks it's nice having the length/ speed.
We thought an item was missing and the owner reached out and they were going to send another one no questions asked.
Owning this beautiful Nakagawa Honyaki feels less like buying a knife and more like stepping into a lineage.
From the first cut, it’s clear this isn’t just a tool — it’s a singular piece of craftsmanship. The grind is immaculate, gliding through onions, herbs, and proteins with a quiet ease. There’s no wedging, no hesitation — just clean cuts that make prep feel effortless. The extra height adds stability and confidence, and for a person with larger hands this was absolutely a bonus! Plus, the added surface area shows off the hamon beautifully, like a canvas displaying the story of fire and water. It’s not decorative; it’s a record of craft. And after a few uses the steel has begun to take on the faintest beautiful blue patina — a subtle wash that catches the light in certain angles. It’s not loud, not forced. Just a quiet reminder that this is living steel, changing with use, recording its own history
A Nakagawa honyaki isn’t about excess or flash. It’s about discipline, heritage, and the quiet confidence of a blade made the old way. Thank you Tokushu Knife!
best cutting board ever. I am converted from high end wood boards officially. A good investment for anyone taking their knives seriously.
I got the tall bunka on a whim and wow am I glad I got it. It’s fun to use for vegetable prep. Yeah you have to dry the blade before storage but that’s not too burdensome. I find myself reaching for this bunka when I have a drawer full of Shun Premier knifes that I could be using 😄
Oh and make sure you get the free option for sharpening! And the knife comes with a blade guard already.
