MITSUMOTO SAKARI Japanese Chef's Knife Set 4 Pcs, Professional Hand Forged Kitchen Chef Knife Set, High Carbon Ultra Sharp Cooking Chefs Knife Set (Rosewood Handle & Sandalwood Box)

This is the first time that I decided to splurge on kitchen knives. As somebody who used to purchase individual knives because they were on sale or as needed, I immediately noticed a difference.Anyone who complains about Rust is just not taking care of their knives appropriately. The box comes with knife oil so that you can take care of the blades that you don’t use regularly for long-term storage. However, if you are somebody who uses your knives regularly and keep them clean, these are going to last you quite a while. The spines are very thick and the blades themselves have been crafted beautifully. I’m quite proud to show them off when I’m cooking. I purchased this when it was on sale for around $150 so about $50 a knife with a free pairing knife thrown in. So the cost is fair.I will say that the handles could be better as they don’t feel like real wood? This for me is a non issue as the primary reason I purchased a Japanese style knife is so that I could replace the handles instead of having to go and buy a new blade.The box itself is nice for presentation, but I don’t see myself using it for long-term storage. It’s honestly a little cheap feeling. But hey, it’s just a box.The knives are also quite well balanced just past the heel of the blade.

This set og knives are definitely quality and they're definitely sharp. Rosewood handles give it a nice touch. Well balanced in your hand as well.

Good quality knifes - sharp, cut well. We hand wash them

I'm a trained chef with 30+ years of experience. I'm incredibly particular about the tools I use. This knife set is, without a doubt, the best I ever used, no competition, hands down. Everything about it is perfect: the weight, the handle ergonomics, the steel quality, the balance, the durability...And the design? Absolutely stunning. Just looking at these knives makes me want to stay in the kitchen and cook all day.I’ve completely stopped using any of my other knives, even those with deep sentimental value. I still keep them and admire them from time to time, but this set is now my daily go-to. It’s not just a tool, it’s inspiration.

Love these knives. Just be careful, I get nicked almost every time I use them. Very sharp.

These knives are incredible! They come in a nice-looking box and have a reusable bag if you want to take them with you, but they really get the job done. It is a pleasure to carve meat, slice vegetables etc. They stay sharp, hand wash well, have a great handle for grip and do everything a good knife should do. They would make excellent gifts. My husband loves them, and we both would recommend them highly!

The knifes are fantastic. Super sharp. Feel good quality

They are super sharp and look good on my magnetic wall holder.
