  • I haven't used their kitchen stuff but if it's anything like their gardening tools it'll certainly do the job.

    Can't recommend anything in that style at a cheaper price but would say in the long term you might prefer a knife that isn't stainless steel.

    On the off chance you're in central London any time soon, it's definitely worth calling in at Kataba in covent garden/TCR - more money but a good place to go and try holding a few knives.

  • I hope I’m wrong - but that looks a lot like ( the Niwaki) like a sandblasted fake hamon? The equivalent of Halfords stick-on fake bonnet vents on an Astra diesel estate.

  • These knives are great- I’ve had one for maybe 4/5 years.

    Holds a decent edge & sharpens up pretty easily on a stone. I’ve since picked up nicer carbon steel knives but still use this a lot. A great entry point to Japanese knives, you won’t go back!
