Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 33 reviews.
Sexy knife. Not perfectly balanced, but close. Sharp, beautiful, use it almost every day for the 2+ weeks I’ve had it. The first one was delivered, but not to my house, so whoever got it must be happy. Kori made it right by shipping another one out to me. Good customer service. I just bought another ~5 inch in a different handle.

I have to say I'm totally satisfied with both knives, the first knife I ordered while opening the box the knife fell out and sliced my finger. I was not upset about that it was my fought for being so careless....but it made me happy at the fact that it cut me that fast. To me my new knife was just saying hello, I love my knife I use it everyday at the restaurant I work at and I use it to cut wag- yu, filets, NY strips..I filet salmon, halibat,swordfish,flounder....sea bass ( bronzino) and many types of vegetables. I will be ordering the boning knife soon and honestly I have a vast amount of chefs including wusthof and cutco but the knives I bought from you are by far my favorite. I only take your knives to work now and the weight of the knife makes it effortlessly to use all day. Thank you so much...Bill from South Jersey.

Traditional Japanese knives are typically lighter, thinner, and sharper than Western knives. They are often made with harder steel, allowing for a finer, razor-sharp edge. Japanese knives are crafted for precision and are specialized for specific tasks, whereas Western knives tend to be more versatile and robust for general use.
Japanese knives are made from a variety of high-quality steels. Two popular options are VG-10 and Aogami (Blue Steel). VG-10 is stainless and highly durable, known for its excellent edge retention and rust resistance. Aogami, or Blue Steel, is carbon steel that provides superior sharpness and edge retention but requires more care to prevent rust.
To maintain the quality of your Japanese knife, it's essential to:
Many traditional Japanese knives have a single bevel edge, meaning only one side of the blade is sharpened. This creates an incredibly sharp edge, ideal for precision tasks like slicing fish or vegetables. However, single-bevel knives require more skill to use and maintain compared to double-bevel (Western-style) knives.
While traditional Japanese knives can provide excellent precision and control, they may require more care and maintenance, making them more suited for those who are comfortable handling knives and maintaining sharp edges. However, some double-bevel Japanese knives, like Gyuto or Santoku, are more versatile and beginner-friendly.
Yes, if made from carbon steel like Aogami or Shirogami (White Steel), Japanese knives can rust or stain if not properly maintained. It’s important to dry them thoroughly after washing and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent oxidation. Stainless steel varieties, like VG-10, are more resistant to rust but still require proper care.
The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. For regular home use, sharpening your knife every 2-3 months using a whetstone is recommended. However, honing the blade with a ceramic rod after each use can help maintain sharpness between full sharpening sessions.
It’s best to avoid traditional honing steels on Japanese knives, especially those with harder steel. Instead, use a ceramic honing rod or a whetstone to realign and sharpen the blade without damaging the delicate edge.
