Great "simple" good quality knife block. Perfect for displaying out knives that were too pretty for a standard block.

Conrad

awesome experience so far with my knives. I'm a full time sushi chef and these knives allow me to do all sorts of tasks in my line of work no issue and they seem to be well made. I'll definitely keep on using these knives for years to come.

HANDCRAFTED FROM SUPERIOR STEEL

Razor sharp. Lasting edge retention.

Crafted from premium hard steel and meticulously hand finished, our knives feature a thinner, sharper edge that glides through ingredients with minimal effort.

The blades hold a razor sharp edge significantly longer than Western knives made from softer steel, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.

GENUINE DAMASCUS

Layered steel naturally patterned through hammering

The hammering subtly distorts each layer, creating unique flowing patterns with striking visual depth. No two blades are exactly alike, each carries its own individual character.

STABILIZED WOOD HANDLES

Natural Birch enhanced

Each handle is made from birch wood impregnated with dyed resin throughout the mass, strengthening the material from within while giving it its deep green tone. The result preserves the natural grain and warmth of real wood, offering improved resistance to moisture and movement while maintaining an organic, authentic feel in hand.

I got the full spread in the classic handle option. Very nice knife, nice packaging. Yes they are from china but they are well made and very sharp. Seems to be a true Damascus machined welded steel. I did use an appropriate food grade wood conditioner on the handles to add some contrast to the grain of the wood.

Works great even in a professional setting! My only concern was that the knife could have been a tad bit sharper out of the box. But a very beautiful knife that I look forward to use many years from now.

Got this for my partner's birthday. It is excellent quality and comes to you already insanely sharp. The stone and bamboo holder were well worth the additional cost! We look forward to using this everyday for many years!

The nakiri knife is of good quality, it keeps it's sharpness and it's sharp on delivery. It doesn't seem to be of inferior quality to more expensive products from Japan, at least there are no signs of it after a few weeks of use. Overall, it's a very nice knife and I recommend it for home cooks who like sharp knives with good edge retention. VG-10 is a good quality steel for this sort of knife, because it doesn't require so much care that you need to dry the knife after each use. The nakiri shape is a great shape for tasks like chopping vegetables and crushing garlic with the side. The knife is light and feels good in hand.
