Customer service has been GREAT!
August 22, 2023

I've had a couple issues with the blades chipping. However, there is a lifetime warranty and EVERYTIME my email was answered in less than 24hrs and new knives shipped. The Kade definitely feels heavier and more sturdy.

Not very good
July 1, 2023

I was really happy to buy a set of knifes but unfortunately after waiting more than 2 months to received them i had to cancel the order.

The only positive thing was that the refund was.made very quick.
A shame I couldn't get the knives.

Dear Eric H.,

Thank you for your review. We apologize for any issues that you have experienced during the delivery process.

Having looked into your order, we notice that your order was held in customs awaiting payment of customs fees, and was then returned back to our warehouse.

Typically we would offer to send a replacement set due to this delay, however we issued the refund upon your request.

Not sharp
June 1, 2023

One of the knives in the set had not been final sharpened. It was blunt compared with the rest of the set. We used the block and stone I bought and sharpened the knife up. Other than that a very nice product. With respect Brendan Thorp

High Quality
March 10, 2023

I'd never spent the money on a nice set of knives so I was hesitant to purchase this set. However, after listening to several people, I took the chance. I am extremely happy that I did! The knives are stylish and well-designed. I will be purchasing from Kamikoto again.
Thank you!

Kamikoto Knife Set
January 28, 2023

As I stated earlier, I bought a set of Kamikoto Knife's using a code from a you tuber I watch. They arrived very quickly to America. The Beauty of the Knives were fantastic. The HandMade Boxes the Knives arrived in were the best craftmanship. I had the Knives for a couple of days when I decided to order another set for a Chef in my area. The Chef was stunned by my generosity & equally stunned by the Beauty of the Knives. He decided to take the Knives home to use so he didn't have to share them. As you can tell, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Fantastic
January 4, 2023

We got the three knive set and when it came one of the wood case hinges wasn't letting the case close very nice. Maybe damaged in transit I'm not sure. I contacted them with my concerns and they send me a new case via FedEx two days later, the new case was perfect and now the knives are stored and displayed in the way they were intended. Thanks Kamikomo, I'm one happy customer.
