I recently purchased a Japanese knife from Christian, and the experience was excellent. They were knowledgeable, patient, and helped me find the perfect knife for my needs. Highly recommend their expertise and service!

This knife company has all sort of different knives and it is sort of reminds me of a ToysrUs of knife shops. If you are a professional chef to a knife collector this is the place to go to. Is it overwhelming yes it is as there is such a huge range. Are the staff helpful yes they are very helpful so helpful I ended up buying a knife, well a meat cleaver made in Japan for 69 pounds yes it's massive but it does an amazing job one I can chop up meat with bones easily. They have all the different types of knives, all to a very high standard, yes they can be very expensive but it's an investment. They all the sharpening stones and tools etcetera. Also you can pay them to sharpen your knife. If you found my review helpful please click like. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this knife store as much as I do.

To owners: Don't spit in my face and call it rain. To customers: Don't let them handle your knifes if they are precious to you. The gentleman in front of me picking up a knife had the tip of his bunka missing and the point was bent. My freshly serviced knife had scratches and a chip. When insisting that it's not OK, the rhetoric changed rapidly from "it was like that when you gave it to us" to "it will never be perfect". Disgraceful. This was my third time sharpening and receiving an amateur service and excuses. Good knifes and knowledgeable staff but I will not set foot in any of their shops again after being insulted and getting told "mate, it's razor sharp".

Attended the knife sharpening course with a friend. We were lucky enough to have the head of sharpening, Maulik as our tutor. The lesson lasted for two and a half hours and taught us that we still have a lot to learn. We were taught the basics of sharpening and by the end we had sharpened a couple of pretty blunt knives to paper slicing sharp. Maulik was good fun and very helpful. I’d recommend this course to anyone with decent knives. On the subject of which… the stock at the Japanese knife company is excellent. There’s a huge selection of quality blades at various price points from easily affordable, through reassuringly expensive to “wow”.

Jay is the best. Came in today to get a carving knife and this man’s knowledge was impeccable. Couldn’t recommend more.

Michiyaki has been great in repairing my knife after my wife had tried to open a metal can with my zanmai blade. Micniyaki even gave me a spare box to go with it. Well done, thank you again my friends... best regards from ian orr.

I wandered into the store and am a newbie to Japanese kitchen knives. A young gentleman Michiaki helped me and answered so many questions he must have been tired by the end. I'm really grateful for their expertise and the amazing selection of knives, helping me choose exactly the one that would be right for me.

I bought a couple of knives from here about 10 years ago when I was staging down in Soho. The knives are expensive, but you get what you pay for - they are amazing. All these years later, one needed a repair and their service was excellent. It is like new. I am so happy with it and the service. Thanks.
