This is my second knife from this series and I’m just as impressed with it as I was with the first. I can’t sing the praises of Sakuto Knives enough. The blade it not only beautiful, and razor sharp, it’s also full tang and sturdy.
My daughter is a chef and has always hinted that she'd like this line of knife. I got it for her for Christmas and she LOVED it! I'd recommend it not only for the professional chef, but for those of us who are home chef's as well!
I have had a few high end chefs knives and this quickly became my favorite. The heavier weight coupled with perfect balance just make rock chopping and slicing super easy and comfortable. I bought it for the looks and reach for more than any other knife for it’s performance.
Bought the Kiritsuke chef knife for my boyfriend’s birthday. The packaging is very nicely done. When you open up the magnetic closure box and see the knife, it’s so beautiful. The sheath has that wonderful leather smell. Sharp as a razor, literally goes through everything like butter. 10 out of 10 would recommend. This company clearly cares about the quality of their knives and your experience with them.
My son loves Japanese cooking knives and was excited to add this one to his collection. The blade is strong and sharp and the handle is beautiful and feels good in your hand.
