## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful knife
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in Canada on 15 May 2021*

Nicely balanced, factory sharp (hone it a little on an appropriate sharpener - 16 degrees, for a great edge).  Thin Japanese blade doesn’t stick to food.  As a bonus, it looks great too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful knife!
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in Canada on 19 March 2022*

Now this is how a knife should be made.  It's really hard to beat a hand forged knife made in Japan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The only one you need!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Canada on 17 April 2022*

Very sharp and durable. Hand wash right after use and air dry.
