“I highly recommend this knife!!!”
Nice height, amazing steel that builds CRAZY patina colors, sharp ootb but needed a little touch on the stones to my liking but really easy to sharpen!! Extremely happy with this knife, will definitely be looking for a nakiri from him as well
“Incredible service, even better knife”
If you can find one, do not wait on this knife. Like all Takeda knives, blink and it is gone. I am not sure why I am writing this, I am not telling you anything you don't already know.
“Worth every single cent”
Very impressed with the turnaround time, the white glove experience with ordering (9) knives at once. The associate Rachel was more than helpful. My wedding party loved their personalized knives!
“Probably best knife shop in Aus”
I bought a knife, it is very sharp, very nice to look at and easy to clean. The Chefs Edge staff were very efficient. Delivery was prompt too. Love this knife!
