Massive upgrade from my old supermarket set. The weight is perfect, not too heavy, and the Damascus finish is even nicer in person. Makes prepping dinner a joy.
Olivia Baker (verified owner) –
Got this as a birthday present for my husband who loves cooking. He was made up with it, says the balance is spot on and its the sharpest knife he’s ever owned.
Gaz Spencer (verified owner) –
Solid knife. Arrived quickly and well packaged. It’s a bit lighter than I expected which isn’t a bad thing, just different. Cuts brilliantly.
Ed Palmer (verified owner) –
Great performer, slices beautifully. The Damascus finish is stunning. I kinda wish it came with a simple sheath or edge guard though, just for storage.
Paul (verified owner) –
Got this as a birthday present for my husband who loves cooking. He was chuffed to bits with it. Said the balance is spot on and it’s way sharper than his old one. He’s been showing it off to everyone. Looks the part as well.
Chris (verified owner) –
So I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now and honestly it’s a joy. The pattern on the blade is proper nice, like a piece of art. I was a bit nervous about the shape but it’s brilliant for slicing veg and the tip is great for more delicate bits. Came really well packaged too, no issues at all.
Dean Taylor (verified owner) –
Lovely piece, makes prep work a lot faster. My only minor thing is I find the tip a bit delicate for my liking, I’m always careful with it. Still, would recommend.
Simon (verified owner) –
Ok so I was after a new all-rounder and this kiritsuke is perfect. The damascus finish is stunning in person, photos don’t do it justice. Makes quick work of onions and herbs, and the flat bit near the handle is great for chopping. Massive upgrade from my old block set, feels like a proper tool. Only thing is I’m now a bit precious about it and won’t let anyone else use it!
Ade Rose (verified owner) –
Cant believe how sharp it is, honestly. Slices tomatoes paper thin with no effort at all. The pattern has a real depth to it, photos dont do it justice.
Zoe (verified owner) –
Really nice knife, feels solid and looks amazing. The edge is fantastic out of the box. My only minor thing is the handle shape, it’s a bit squarer than I’m used to so took a day or two to get comfortable with. But that’s just personal preference, it’s a great bit of kit for the price.
Tina Edwards (verified owner) –
Sharp, good looking, well made. I find myself reaching for it most days. Maybe the spine could be a bit more rounded for comfort, but its a small thing.
Steve Jenkins (verified owner) –
It’s good, not great. The edge was sharp out the box but I’ve had cheaper knives that were just as sharp. The handle finish feels a bit plain for a knife with such a fancy blade. Does what it says on the tin.
Archie Marsh (verified owner) –
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. Lovely edge on it.
