MITSUMOTO SAKARI 9 inch Kiritsuke Chef’s Knife with 3.2 mm Blade, Japanese Professional Kitchen Cooking Knives 3 Layer 9CR18MOV Clad Steel (Rosewood Handle)

Good product and fast delivery.

I got the 9 inch chef knife and the 5.5 inch pairing knife. The knives are very well made and have a much nicer look than what you get from more mass produced knives, they are also extremely sharp right out of the box. The larger Chef knife is a little large for people with smaller hands but the pairing knife is great for everyone and would be my recommendation. Previously, I typically used Victorinox knives as they provide a balance of cost and quality but these Japanese knives have much nicer steel and hold an edge way better. When I received the chef knife, the handle was slightly loose but they replaced the knife without issue. I would not downgrade them because of this defect because they were quick to resolve the issue without hassle. Great knives and will most definitely be getting more for myself or others. I was very pleased with the overall level of service.

Really beautiful packaging with wooden box. The knife is sharp and also come with oil to cut things even easier.

I picked up the Mitsumiro Sakuri Kiritsuke knife looking for something versatile that could handle both prep work and finer slicing, and it’s been a great addition to the kitchen. The first thing you notice is the design. Kiritsuke-style knives have that distinct angled tip, and it’s not just for looks—it actually makes precision cuts a lot easier, especially when working with vegetables or trimming meats. This knife feels well-balanced in hand, and the blade has a nice weight to it without being too heavy. Performance-wise, it’s sharp right out of the box and holds an edge pretty well with regular use. It slices cleanly through vegetables, meats, and even more delicate items like herbs without crushing them. It’s one of those knives that makes prep feel smoother and more controlled. The handle is comfortable and gives a secure grip, even during longer use. It doesn’t feel overly premium, but it’s definitely solid enough for everyday cooking. As long as you take care of it—hand wash, dry it properly, and keep it honed—it should last. A couple things to keep in mind: like most Japanese-style knives, it’s not meant for heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bones or frozen foods. Also, if you’re used to Western chef knives, the shape and technique might take a little getting used to at first. Overall, this is a great all-around knife for home cooks who want something a little more refined than a basic chef’s knife. It looks good, performs well, and adds a bit of that Japanese-style precision to your kitchen.

Muy bueno, excelente calidad del cuchillo, viene con su certificado de forjado, ademas de instrucciones de cuidado y un botecito con un liquido para evitar corrosión y cuidarlo, la caja en la que viene es MDF pero lo suficientemente fuerte para resguardar el cuchillo, si eres amante de cocina o como regalo para un chef es lo ideal

Great item packaged well looks and cut lovely.
