This knife can go through bone and keep going without chipping, great addition to the collection
I had a few Hi-LOW cutting board in the skin color. The wife prefers the black Hasegawa and the Parker Asahi.
Just a beautiful knife.
razor sharp out of the box
Great price, outstanding service, fast shipping . highly recommend
Great shape and nice edge, the handle had a little expoxy on it, but overall great quality
I was most surprised by how light this knife is in the hand. Yet it is perfectly balanced and basically falls through whatever you’re cutting. Awesome
Bought this as more of a collectors item than anything else but i absolutely will end up using it. The size and profile are perfect for my needs and the spine and choil are beautifully polished. Grind is nicely tapered, thin at the edge but sturdy at the spine. This was a grail knife for me and i dont regret spending the money for it.
They're blade guards, and they do what they are supposed to. I did have a problem with the 210 mm guard; it doesn't quite cover the entire edge of the Tojiro DP 210 gyuto, but it is only about half a millimeter—just something to point out.
This knife is my dream! I love the weight, the feel of the traditional Japanese handle, and the incredible sharpness of the blade. The customer service is also great. I plan to purchase additional knives from them.
Kyohei Shindo's forged S grind is superb and I'm always amazed by how thin his makes his knifes. It just glides through whatever product I'm working with. Perfect. Mine came in at 183mm long and 74mm tall, so a bit larger than the general specs and that's normal for Shindos.
I'm unsure of the Moritaka's sharpness from the factory, but after using the sharpening service recommended in the product description, I'm incredibly impressed by its sharpness. It's truly the sharpest knife in my collection.
As usual, Shindo performance punches way above the price point. Also, the handles are nicer than shows in the pictures.
Huge to the point its perfect for any knife sure smooth edge retention. Add the strop shot to this an it’s completely on point for mirror polished edges!
This stuff is amazing, when ypu apply it to your leather strop. When you apply the heat from your heading element, you can actually see the leather condition agent, liquefied, absorbed in the leather.
This stuff is amazing, when you apply it to your leather strop. Then you apply the heat from your heating element/ hair dryer’ heating gun. Watching doing this you can actually see the leather conditioner agent, liquefied. To the point it absorbs in the leather disappearing. All seeing clearly the polycrystalline cutting emulsion strengthens crisping its bond, clinging dryed to the leather ready to poilsh edges to perfection
For the price the knife is very good, but with a little work the knife becomes amazing. The handle, blade taper, and balance are great. With an hour of work on the blade to round the spine and choile, then polishing the bevel to show the hamon makes the knife perfect.
Smooth experience in slicing and cutting meat, saving for another knife.
The knife is actually better than depicted! And, Tony is a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't recommend Tokushu Knife more strongly!
