Delivery is a joke. And customer service will give you the run around! There are many there are many other companies that have better service!
It is one of the best knives I ever used. It fits in the hand and easy to handle
I own several Kamikoto knives, and I've been very happy with the quality of their products. You can't beat the price, too!
Great knives. Box latch needs to be improved. Small screws fell out after a couple of openings. Knives very sharp

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.
The knifes are excellent and their customer service is top notch. Just an overall great brand. Can't wait for Christmas to purchase more as a gift to myself.
Awesome knifes after 1 year of use still as sharp as when New. Perfectly balanced and cuts through meat like butter.
Must have for any serious chef in the kitchen
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.
After Ordering Engraved Blades, Received Order with No Engraving. Customer Service Fixed & I Had my New Engraved Blades in time to Gift! They Always Go above & Beyond!
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.
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!
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.

The knives are exquisite and then customer service I received was simply spectacular. I would recommend Kamikoto to everyone from novice cook to master chef. I believe with proper care these would last a lifetime
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.
Answer: I agree with Michelle S. I, too have a bunch of Wusthof knives, they're forty years old and are beautiful to work with. If you search long and hard and don't care, you can always find cheaper knives, but you'll not find anything better than the Kamikoto knives that I'm now using.
Handcrafted Japanese Ibaraki Steel Knives; known for the Kanpeki Knife Set and the iconic Santoku 7-Inch Chef's Knife. Each blade pays tribute to the centuries-old craft of knifemaking, and is handcrafted with precise attention and care, employing traditional skills handed down by expert knifemakers through the centuries. Kamikoto knives are solemn blades made for a lifetime, crafted for chefs and knife enthusiasts.
