Ordering was easy and price was great. We have bought several knives as gifts over the last 3-4 years and have always been pleased with the quality of the knives. They are 5*. Delivery was seamless and quick.
I ordered the Kanpeki Knife Set - Buy 1 get one free. One set will be gifted to my son. The other is for my husband. I am so imressed with the quality of the knives. The knives are really sharp. They are packaged beautifully and were shipped with the utmost care. I am beyond satified with the purchase. I would highly recommend Kamikoto!
Very satisfied. I've had them for a couple of months now and they still don't need sharpening.
Contacted Kamikoto customer support and explained defective with photo. No questions asked, an apology and replacement sent very quickly. Very much appreciated and that your warranty was honoured. Thank you.
Customer service is a priority for Kamikoto and they stood behind their product. The weight and sharpness of these knives I have been very satisfied with.
We purchased the Kage Knife Set (solid black). Not only do these knives cut beautifully, but they are gorgeous to look at and display. They have a well-balanced feel. I cannot recommend this knife set highly enough. We love them. Pure art meets function and precision. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make more styles of knives in this beautiful solid black.
I have been using a Suntoku knife for more than five years. It has been helping achieve best culinary results. Hence my recent purchase. Keep up the excellent craftsmanship! Vassilis
Love the knives! Their quality is superb! Am also very impressed with the customer service. I had an issue with shipping and Kamikoto solved it faster than I could turn around.
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'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.
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.
An incredibly nice company with which to work. Knives come in beautifully crafted wooden boxes and they're heavy like little swords! As I find is typical of dealing with Japanese companies, they are very gracious and humble and eager to please.
The quality of these knives is apparent as soon as you pick one up. The shipping was unexpectedly quick and customer service response was almost instant. I have no reservations about a repeat purchase
The knives are beautiful, but a piece of the smallest knife chipped off when I first took it out if the box. Disappointing since it was meant to be a present. The knives are affordable but not cheap either, I expected a stronger knife and hope that my two other pieces won't break easily.
My order arrived yesterday, just as forecasted. I had just enough time to unpack and use them to prepare supper. They are most amazing. Perfect weight and balance, and they are sharper out of the box than many knives that I've carefully honed. I could not be more pleased.
These knives are no joke when it comes to sharpness. My husband was using one for the first time and darn near sliced through his finger by just pushing the knife a few inches back on the cutting board. He thought it was the back of the blade but it was the cutting edge. I mean if you are looking for sharp knives, these are probably the gold standard. Well worth the price!
I've ordered five knives over the past two years plus given some as gifts. The quality of the knives has been excellent plus their customer service has been very good. I suggest ordering a sharpening stone to keep the knife cutting edge in top shape.
I've always been fascinated with traditional Japanese swords and sword-makers, so I naturally gravitated towards Kamikoto products which are steeped in the same traditions. These are the most amazingly sharp knives I've ever seen, and I have no doubt they are capable of splitting atoms! I now own two complete sets of knives (the entire line), plus many extra knives that I give away to friends and family, who are equally amazed at the quality, sharpness, and presentation... the little wooden boxes are a great touch. Plus their customer service is second to none; I've done lots of online shopping, and no company I've ever dealt with can even come close to the professionalism, courteousness, and generosity that Kamikoto exhibits on a regular basis. So whether you're a weekend warrior in the kitchen like myself, or a professional chef in a 5-Star restaurant, you can always depend on Kamikoto knives... there's nothing sharper.
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.
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.

Answer: I agree with Michelle S. I, too have a bunch of Wusthof knives, they're forty years old and are beautiful to work with. If you search long and hard and don't care, you can always find cheaper knives, but you'll not find anything better than the Kamikoto knives that I'm now using.
