Received the item in very good condition, I greatly appreciate that it came with a bubble wrap. From the moment I unboxed this knife, it exuded a premium feel. I gifted this best Gyuto knife to my husband for his birthday, and he hasn’t been able to stop talking about it ever since. He’s always loved cooking but found old knives made preparing meals a chore rather than a pleasure.. That initial cut through a tomato? Like cutting through air. It was the kind of response you dream of when presenting a gift sheer excitement and immediate appreciation.

I wanted a special gift for my brother for his wedding. He loves japanese art and cooking, but everything I see online is too predictable or ordinary Then I saw a Youtube video about Syosaku Damascus steel knife. This damascus knife had this stunning wave-like pattern on the blade (which I personally like). His wife even said he'd never seen my brother so excited about a gift before. Seeing him enjoy it made me realize I had picked the perfect gift. Thank you so much Syosaku!

I got this knife as a gift for my mom, who already loves cooking but now? She’s basically a samurai in the kitchen. This is her first authentic Japanese kitchen knife, and let me tell you, she’s never been this excited to chop herbs (and somehow, she’s still smiling while doing it… is this normal? 🤔😆)

I think I'm unveiling a "Michelin-starred MOM". I'm happy I got this high-quality knife for her. Now I’m wondering… what’s the next upgrade for my culinary queen?

I was looking for a handmade Japanese knife that could compete with the smaller shun I have. I was going to purchase a bigger 8 inch shun but the price jumped . So I found this one for much less. I was worried that the quality might be lacking because of the discrepancy in price but I was wrong. This knife is better than a shun. The craftmanship and attention to detail is amazing. The imperfections are welcomed to me because it proves that it's hand made and you can tell they tried really hard to make this knife. The name of the knife was clearly hammered in on the side with great skill, it's extremely impressive. Each individual line is hammered in with care. I have taken up an close photo of it. This knife is also clearly made for the Japanese, as the instructions are only in Japanese. Infact there is no English on the box other than its country of origin. The knife is well sharpened. I can tell the knife is made from quality VG 10 steel. It does not matter how much you spend on a knife. It will not be made better than this. If you are on the fence about this knife. Go for it. You will not regret it. A+ This knife is thin and delicate. This is unavoidable because the style. It's thin. So there are things you can't do with it. Don't drop it, ever. Don't cut on hard surfaces. Don't cut around bone. Use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Be careful when cutting things; take your time. This style of knife will chip and bend much easier than a thick German knife, however if cared for has its advantages. This thing is as sharp as a surgeons scalpel so keep your fingers away from the blade. I cut my finger on it within less than 5 minutes. Just a gentle brush on the blade is enough to cut.

Beautifully presented and made knife. Love it

I spent weeks researching before buying a new Damascus chef’s knife because I wanted something legit, none of that ‘Japanese-style’ branding on a knife that’s actually made in China. This one is the real deal. Handmade in Japan, razor-sharp out of the box, and the Damascus steel pattern is absolutely stunning. The Mahogany handle feels premium, and the knife is perfectly balanced. I actually enjoy chopping now, which I never thought I’d say!

Bought knife as a gift and it was delivered very quickly. My Nephew was very pleased with the quality and the fact it was made by hand. He spent the evening cutting up anything that could be cut up. Thank you

When you want to impress your friends when working together in the kitchen, or want to surprise your partner I can recommend to buy this handcrafted super sharp knife. It cuts meat or vegetables very easily and is supplied with knife holder to prevent damages. I’m sure you will enjoy !

Just wanted to let you know me and my family really enjoy the knife. It is a fantastic tool and peace of art I recommend it to everyone who likes to work in the kitchen.

I received this traditional Japanese knife from a friend, in use it is unprecedentedly sharp. Syosaku delivers traditional craftmanship, in use you notice that this is made of the highest quality. It makes my daily work in the kitchen even easier, it is a personal recommendation.

We have a few Miyabi knives and I can tell you this knife is as good as the Miyabis. Really like the real wood handle and the damascus pattern.

You can see down the spine that it is a true laminate steel , very thin blade , holds quite nice in the hand , beautiful blade , huge difference from a cheap knife

High quality! Good looking! Highly recommended!

Great knife, highly recommend.
