The knife I ordered was exactly what I wanted and at a great price. Everything shipped quickly with good packaging and I also appreciated the note about product availability. They also kindly sent me other items due to the order changes.
I really like it. Sharp oob, great balance. Super comfortable handle!
I'm very happy with this purchase.
This is a very practical knife. Good size. It can be used for scooping up chopped ingredients and transferring them. It is heavier than a standard chef's knife. The center of gravity is on the blade. The knife arrives super sharp out of the box. All of this helps you cut with minimal effort.
The Damascus cladding is inconspicuous, but even if it was missing, I wouldn't notice it or miss it. It is unnecessarily emphasized in the photos. This is not good marketing practice.
The handle... It is made of wood that is not super polished. It is also a little rough on one side. I treated it with MCT oil to keep it in good condition. A handle made this way allows for an extremely comfortable and stable grip. If your hands are wet, the handle does not slip at all. It is truly a pleasure to use this knife.
I have been using it for a few days just for cutting vegetables.
I would not be surprised if it becomes one of the few knives, I use daily at home.
I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
I purchased a knife block and a paring knife from these folks. High quality products matched with exceptional customer service. I'm a stickler for this sort of thing and I give them a most high recommendation. I'll be back.
I've had numerous sharpening systems over 50+ years of woodworking, and this mix of grits plus the added accoutrements make for a very simple and effective system whether I am sharpening kitchen knives or shop chisels and plane blades. For the price, there is nothing better.
Shipping was fast and the workmanship of the knife is very good beautiful knife, also the box and packaging was very good suitable for a nice gift.
I bought this knife on a screaming good deal. It came in the mail and I immediately bought a few things to chop up. The handle feels great, the blade is sharp, and the knife is fantastic in every way. I've used it a lot and each time I've been very happy with it.
It's a nice knife, but I'm a bit disappointed that it is listed as a Japanese knife, but all over the packaging and the knife itself, it says "Made in China." I suppose it is a Japanese-style
nikiri, but I wish I had known, as I bought this as a gift.
This will be my first time trying them but from what I can tell they are very well made and I’m looking forward to using them!
My end grain cutting board is beautiful to handle and an absolute value. Even better, the customer service is personable and top-notch; they handled an inquiry I made with more attention than I expected. Will be recommending The Bamboo Guy every time I spy an aging board in someone else's kitchen.
Excellent product for tying up raspberry bushes,tomatoes , no tool needed to cut tape , sting enough to hold through season ,
