The knife arrived very quickly. Very sharp and easy to handle.
Beautifully made, nice handle and solid blade.
Other than USPS being slow like usual this knife was a great purchase. Wanting to get into cooking and loving knifes and japanese culture this was the perfect knife for me. Would have liked the japanese handle a little more, but this knife is still a beautiful work of art. Will eventually buy a petty and/or nakiri from this company as well.
Let me see…how to describe this knife. Design similar to some found in German cutlery sets, made by a Japanese knife company, using Swedish steel. IMHO, that is a great combination. Razor sharp right out of the box. Excellent for small work. I will get the 150mm when they are back in stock. Note the only point still outstanding is I have not used enough to fully assess the edge retention. At this point I have no concerns that it won’t be as good as other common quality stainless steels used for kitchen cutlery.
A work of art, as is the rest of their cutlery. A joy to use and a joy to own. Thank you for making these available.
Very happy with my purchase
The knife looks great and really strong and sharp. Plan to replace all my kitchen knives (various sizes) by similar ones.
Out of the box I preped potatoes to boil. That knife feels like it knows what you want and the slice just happens. I WISH I had the knive when I worked in a kitchen.
I looked all over Japan for a knife to gift to a friend and never found anything I felt was worthy of carrying home. Then I found this beautiful Sakai Takayuki Santoku with a blue mahogany handle. Great price and free shipping! It arrived very quickly and included a friendly note and a band aid - LOL. It was wrapped in Japanese newspaper and included a little origami samurai helmet as a decoration. I carefully opened the package and was very impressed with the look, feel and size of this Santoku. Can't wait to give it to my friend!
I get to cook with a piece of art! Razorblade! Gorgeous!
Sharp blade. Rustic and basic design is part of its charm. The history and workmanship are worthwhile in themselves.
全部素晴らしかった！本当にありがとうございました‼️
Exactly as expected. Lovely in its simplicity, and effective. Order was processed smoothly.
The knife holds well and feels solid. It has just enough weight to confidently maintain control in use but not so heavy that it will be tiresome to use for long periods. The finish is beautiful and it is sharp! The grip is understated (which is what I wanted) and feels good in my average size hands. It’s hard to get better quality for the price.
I tried ordering this knife from another merchant and they cancelled my order two days later with no explanation. Other merchants were out of stock. Luckily, Nadu-Seizo had it in stock and at a lower price. They prepared and shipped the order quickly and even asked about a discrepancy between my credit card address and my shipment address to ensure it was going to the correct place. I appreciated that the wrapped the knife in Japanese newspaper and included a personalized note and band aide “just in case”.
I will to looking here for my knife needs in the future. It’s great to support a small business who clearly respects and values their customers.
