Great products, well made, excellent presentation of each instrument, and thorough follow through; when a exception is discovered. Kamikoto products, representation to their products is well represented from manufacture in Tokyo to the United States. I am very happy to purchase from the best.
Very easy to utilize web site to view product and place order. Tracking information and order confirmation are greatly appreciated.
I've always wanted a set of Japanese steel knives and these don't disappoint. The thing that strikes me most is how well-balanced they are. Really amazing. It will take some practice sharpening them with the preferred method but well worth the effort. Highly recommend them to everyone.
When I received my 13 inch Yanagiba, I wasn't sure how it would handle.
Yes, it is a beautiful knife with Incredible craftsmanship, but I was concerned with weight and balance under various slicing tasks.
I decided to give the knife two completely different tests.
The first was a 10 pound, 35 day, dry aged rib roast.
The pellicle was hard and rough. The Yanagiba sliced through it with absolute ease in one motion (the 13 inches came in handy). The whole roast was sliced into steaks in less than a minute.
After a quick rinse, I skinned and sliced a whole cod with the precision of a pairing knife designing garnish.
Some might say the length may be impractical. You will find that the 13 inch Yanagiba will serve a multitude of purposes that you might not expect from this length of a blade. I highly recommend this knife added to you food preparation tools. Without a doubt, you will find it's usefulness a pleasant experience.
The knives are perfect we have wanted them for ages. The knife block looks so elegant in our kitchen. Thankyou for fast delivery
As a new customer of Kamikoto a few months ago, I have experienced a bad delivery by Australia Post and Kamikoto right away investigated and rectified the order at their own cost. I was very appreciative (not with Australia Post) and been ordering their quality knives for family members as presents. Everybody had excellent comments about the sharpness and quality of Kamikoto knives. I proudly display their knives on their magnetic wooden knife holders. Highly recommended and this is one satisfied customer
Where are the knives I ordered? I think I even already paid for them but have not seen to be able to experience... s
I am left-handed and had to adjust the angle of cutting with the bevel knives. Cutting left-leaning a bit right makes for straight 90° cuts.
Very sharp knives out of the display box.
I now own the whole collection except the steak knives which I have no use for. I like the way they feel and perform. Very sharp, cuts cleanly. The single bevel takes some getting used to because there is a tendency to cut unevenly while cutting large cuts of meat. However, after a few cuts, one gets used to using the single bevel.
These are the sharpest steak knives I have ever used. I have always disliked the serrated edged knives but that was generally all one saw to purchase. Now that I have found Kamikoto I will never be disappointed again. I love all of the knives I have purchased. The packaging is excellent. Would make a spectacular gift.
I love Kamikoto. They stand by thier products and when something fails like shipping they will replace it and offer you a discount on your next order. I purchased these sets for friends, family and clients. They ALL love them and want to buy the complete set. I continue to buy more knives from them including the new 13" blade that have no place to store it AND the steak knives.
The people, product, process and packaging are all well honed, top notch performers.
Forty years a Chef, these are the last, best knives I'll ever need.
Sublime, indeed.
Can't rate as product has not arrived. Getting ready to file a dispute with credit card company.

I love these knives. I ordered the 13' knife and it's awesome, except the box came broken. How can I get a replacement box, because that's where I keep my knife.
Thank you
Well made. Great looking and excellent edge. Best meat carver I've used
The knives are super, they fit the hand quite well and they're rather sharp---plus, you can buy a stone to maintain the cutting edge. The knives come in attractive blond wood presentation cases, which are very good storage spots. I can't fault the knives in the least.
Knives are of excellent quality and presented in elegant boxes. Highly recommended.
I have ordered you knives in the past. They are very good. The steak knives were a great addition to offers
Extraordinarily well-made! Priced pretty good for what they are. They feel amazing in your hand. Knives I expect to own for a long long time.
