What Customers Say

Very Satisfied

Not sure where the negative reviews about dullness came from, but the paring knife I received was OMG sharp. Cut up a cucumber today and it was like slicing through air. Those who are not used to super-sharp knifes should be very careful. Reviews from other sources indicate the blade stays sharp for months. Yes, Kyoku is a Japanese reseller of Chinese knives. No, it doesn't have a real Damascus blade (would cost 10 times as much if it was real). No, the blade isn't real Japanese VG10 but (according to that other source) it is chemically identical. All in all, however, it's WELL worth the price.

Excellent sharp knife

Excellent knife. Very sharp. I was making a veggie tray and this knife cut raw carrots with ease. It cut cukes just with the weight of the knife. Didn’t even have to push down. Will update later on how long it stayed this sharp

Beautiful but I prefer a lighter knife.

This is an absolutely gorgeous knife. And absolutely beautifully packaged, I could not say how it worked, because I did not use it and returned it because it was just a little heavier than I'm accustomed for my particular taste.
