Exceptional value !

Great all around small prep knife ! The quality of this knife for the $$$ is crazy good . Zack is very knowledgeable and his handle install perfect ! The Funayuki blade style with its thin tip makes fine vege prep work easy. Perfect for shallots , garlic , onions etc , more versatile than a petty IMO. Very impressed with Shindo’s work and will add his Nakiri to my collection when it is back in stock .

My new favourite knife!

I was interested the knives of this artist, but was unfamiliar with "funayuki" until I saw this knife. Absolutely my favourite knife. I love the weight, height, balance, and sharpness.

Mixed Impressions- Still a good value

Knife arrived with the tip piercing the plastic sheath and through the inner box w/a significant bend in effect. The steel at the tip is so thin it can be freely be bent to either side, so the "repair" was quite simple.

Fit and finish is pretty rough overall. Not a smooth grind on spine or choil. Handle glue was sloppy (but comes off easily).

The knife is too dull out of the box to cut a tomato, despite asking them to sharpen it. Not sure if this is related to the polish though, as it cuts paper well. Either way it needs immediate attention.

The evidence box was an interesting choice of packaging... Although I found it comical, some may say distasteful lol.

I knew I was buying a budget knife though, so all in all I'm satisfied. I'm not entirely sure I'd use this vendor for a higher end knife, because it certainly could've been sharper and packaged better.

Pretty Good

Knife is attractive and has a nice handle and good balance but arrived pretty dull (wouldn’t cut a tomato). Will work it on my stone. My Nikiri came very sharp.
