I own several Kamikoto knives, and I've been very happy with the quality of their products. You can't beat the price, too!

Whether you need a knife to prepare a meal or one to eat one, Kamikoto has the perfect knife for you. From cutting meat, fish, vegetables or the dinner on your plate, you should always use the perfect Kamikoto. Your prep work will be easier, faster, neater, safer, more precise, and leave the item in the proper condition for your gourmet meal. I own every knife they make and I love them all. So will you.

Best knives I now own!
September 19, 2019

I recommend them for any professional or home chef! I also have the 13 inch which is great for skinning large fish filets and carving large cuts of meat! Highest quality I've ever seen.

These knives are Amazing!
September 10, 2019

These knives are Amazing! This is my second purchase and I am thrilled with the quality and feel of these knives. Although I already have a pretty elaborate knife assortment,
I am sure I will be adding more of these to my collection.

Best Knives ever!
September 10, 2019

You will never need another set of knives. These knives are a chef's dream. Sharp, lite, and cuts like butter. The handle fits nicely in your hand and the knife does all the work. You will not be disappointed with these knives. Kamikoto has the best customer service in the industry. Keep up the fantastic work!

When You want the Best
September 10, 2019

Have spent much time in Japan and have tremendous respect and affection for Japanese people and consider Japanese cuisine one of my favorites. After my first Kamikoto purchase I was so impressed I bought additional sets as gifts to assure each of my children had a set. These are not the only Japanese knives I have purchased in the past but they are the only ones I will buy in the future.

I purchased the Kanpeki knife set together with the Toishi whetstone advertised recently in The Economist for a much discounted price. There were some complications in the dispatching caused initially by me, so I was in contact with the support desk which proved to be outstandingly helpful and very prompt. In fact my knives arrived well within the advertised deadline. I have now started to use the knives, they are magnificent and I have no doubt that I will have many years enjoyable use of them.
