Beautifully crafted knives and cases with fast shipping! Not only do I enjoy them but they make the best gifts to my family and friends! Thanks again!
I'm disappointed in these knives as they do not hold an edge for more than a few cuts. They look good, feel substantial in the hand but I have to resharpen them after chopping a few broccoli or carrots

While I was drying off one of my knives, it snapped in half. I took a picture of the knife emailed the company on a holiday weekend. They replied later that night, and shipped me a new set which I received within three business days! Talk about standing by your product.
These are sooo sharp the warning doesn't do them justice. I've cut my fingers several times,even managed to stab myself accidentally of course but are the best knives I've ever used before. Amazing Craftsmanship
Great service and the quality of the knives is
Outstanding! I would highly recommend the purchase of these knives.
I purchased the 7-inch Damascus Santoku knife - hands down the sharpest knife I have ever owned. Fantastic for chopping herbs, slicing tomatoes, dicing chicken... anything requiring a delicate, accurate touch. Very well balanced, great handle and an overall good size for any task. If you have one knife in your drawer, it should be this one.
Tip for consumers:
Site is excellent... and I used to develop websites.

Thanks 🙏 RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGreat!
I bought several knife sets for Christmas presents. Of course I had to buy one for myself as well. Everyone loved the gifts and I found the knives to be very sharp and used them immediately in place of my old knives.
I needed a new set of steak knives that were actually worth what I spend. Having bought Kamikoto knives in the past I knew right where to go and pleased to find a GREAT set of knives!
My first order never arrived, the second order arrived after I forked out a great deal of money to cover duty fees which I was not expecting.
I got this as a gift to my husband he loved it and that makes me happy! Great quality and beautiful finning.
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.
Best Regards

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.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly if any future orders are delayed and we would be honored to assist you.
Kind regards,
Kamikoto
I ordered Kuro set for a gift and received somewhat flawed one. Their customer service immediately answered to my email and asked some pictures of the item. After examining the pictures, they immediately replaced the flawed one. I really appreciate their quick action. However, Kuro set was not extremely sharp as much as I expected compared to their other single beveled knives although they advertised as best knife ever amongst their products. Overall, I was satisfied their customer service but have a question mark on the Kuro set.
Kamikoto is an incredible brand. I wish to own the whole Knife set someday. I own a few pieces now and I Love them. When one of my specialty knives got damaged they replaced it for me. That is incredible service. I am so very grateful and give them 5 stars for quality, commitment, and service.
Thank you Kamikoto
The knifes have a good feel to them, they are heavy and well formed. But they don't have the sharpness you would expect in this price range!
Dear Mr.Claudius,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our knives are individually inspected and held to the highest quality standard, as with normal usage of the knives over time, we would recommend that our knife buyers periodically hone their knives with the Toishi Whetstone 1000/3000 in order to maintain the knife's sharpness over time.
It is an honor to serve you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need any further assistance.
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.
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.

Dear Mary G.,
Thank you for your review.
We apologize that you have not enjoyed using your 7 inch Santoku Knife, we pride ourselves on the quality of our blades and it seems that your knife has been underwhelming.
We have now issued a replacement knife to be delivered to you, and we hope that this knife will not disappoint. We have sent an email detailing this replacement, please reply to this email if you have any other questions, queries or feedback as we would be honored to assist you.
Kind Regards,
Kamikoto
I received my Senshi knife set recently. The packaging, wooden box and display stand were a pleasure to behold. The knives are works of art - precision made, well balanced, sharp as a razor, sleek hygienic design, and branded with quality text and graphics. I would have paid twice the price if I knew how well received they were going to be. It is a joy to use these knives for food preparation. Do not be fooled by cheaper products which certainly will not carry the Japanese standard of perfection or instill such a feeling of respect for the makers. They are my katana and wakizashi of the kitchen! Very happy.
Tip for consumers:
Do not be hesitant to communicate with Kamikoto. They are professional, honest, respectful and proud manufacturers of quality products.

Recently, I received a few sets of Kamikoto knives as a gift. To this point, I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the product; they are by far the best knives I've owned or used.
When addressing one minor issue that I had, the customer service team was exceptional. Their responsiveness, cordiality, and respectfulness was absolutely incomparable, and they were able to resolve the issue with diligence and ease.
I would recommend this company and their products to anyone without hesitation.
Do not like to see better deals after I have made my purchase. Should be equal across the board
We had some problems that did not depend on the seller, yet the seller went head over heels to help us solve it. The products are, so far, absolutely fantastic. More than satisfied.
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!
I received my knives very quickly, but the sharpening stone wasn't with them. A quick email was all that was needed to get it taken care of.
Very impressed and I will now buy all of my knives from Kamikoto. I am also pleased that they are sponsoring a special 2A video blogger, Langley Outdoor Sports.
Thank you for the great deal and a perfect customer care experience.
Wonderful set of cutlery! One suggestion for you though: Have storage rack for ready access... just a thought

Dear Ed O.,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so incredibly sorry that your first order did not arrive, we are glad to hear that the replacement order arrived without issues. Regarding the duty fees, we unfortunately only have 1 fulfillment center based in the US that can fulfill our international orders, and therefore customers who purchase outside of the US will be subject to their local customs/duty fees. We hope to have other fulfillment centers in the future in your shipping area to avoid this from happening in the future. Thank you for your understanding.
If there is anything else that we can do to better serve you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
