Excellent product quality and transport time is super fast.

Quality build as pictured. Impressively packaged. Arrived quickly. No complaints.

Excellent quality as with the knives. Always best to buy high quality. Buying cheap, low quality becomes very expensive.

Love this knife! Beautiful! It comes with a decent edge but with after sharpening on stones it cuts fish so well. it also easily push cuts newspaper effortlessly when tested! I have no more issues make clean cuts of sashimi and sushi. After using this Yanagiba i realize just how inadequate a European meat slicer is for slicing fish.

I sharpened it once and have used it six times now and there is no loss in edge performance. I think the blue steel will keep and edge well and definitely lessen the number of times i have to sharpen this knife.

Several of my friends have commented on the beauty of the hammered Kurouchi patter and now want one! For the price, performance and beauty of this knife i couldn't be happier!

This is my second knife from Musashi and definitely not my last. The item was delivered to me in Canada in less than a week with no issue. I has some questions about the knife and Musashi contacted the knife maker and had my questions answered to my satisfaction. Very happy with the service from Musashi. Can't ask for more!

This knife exceeded my expectations, it makes meal preparation so much easier

First good knife I ever dared to buy, most likely not the last.
The out of the box knife was sharper than any I've ever held in my hand.
For the first 2 weeks i couldn't stop cooking because I just wanted to cut, chop and slice everything in my kitchen - that's how satisfying of an experience it is.
But Musashi manages to make it so much more than just a knife. The experience altogether is just premium. I don't know if it is their quality, their attention to detail, their branding or everything together, but they delivered above and beyond.

I waited with this review so I could test the Knife and get comfortable with it.
Out of the box if you really squint and look closely, there were some weird stain-like patterns on the blade (and no, It's not the beautiful Hamon and Heat Treatment patterns you see in the picture) But it wasn't bad.
What I also noticed is that overnight, after the first use - even though I washed and wiped the knife after using it - it had dark spots along the cutting edge of the blade on both sides. These are, as I have later learned, not stains, but patina - a really thin layer of rust that builds up really quickly on high carbon blades and should be removed regularly, probably once every 1-2 weeks - .
They do mention that this steel is prone to rust and patina, so I can't say i wasn't warned.
After more than a month of using it - maybe not daily, but once every other day - I finally noticed that it's weight alone isn't enough to slice through the vegetables anymore, I finally need to also give it a little pressure to start cutting. It's flawless out of the box sharpness lasted longer than expected. I am yet to give the whetstone a try and sharpen the blade.

I would recommend buying a rust eraser together with this knife because it will accumulate some of that patina quickly.
I don't know if I should have bought the rust eraser instead of the wooden sheath / casing.

i purchased tantoo knife from johnwickknives.com and i am sooo amazed by their product quality and they really have the best designs among others!!!!

The best cherokee knife that bought was actually from cherokeecutlery.com . they make reallly fine cherokee knives and the best part of their cherokee knife is the way the present american native legacy by their designs and material.. love their product. highly recommendedddddddddd https://cherokeecutlery.com/

The volume of positive reviews speaks for itself. Bought it as a gift for my father. The knife itself is fantastic: it is effortless to use, quite simply beautiful and a joy to own. With bespoke and excellent customer service I cannot recommend the product or company enough.

Incredibly grateful to customer service for their efforts. You can tell Musashi is a loving group of people, and it shows in the blades. This knife is so beautiful (and great) you could fall in love with it. It fits perfectly in my hand, it cuts ever more lightly. I can't wait to enjoy it more.

I'm a professional chef and was looking for a hand made high carbon knife and boy did I get lucky to find this company. Super sharp well made knife and very quick delivery. Ive been using it for a month now and still makes me happy when I'm using it.

The knife is a piece of ART. Will buy again!

I bought this hoping it would be a good starting knife and it absolutely is. It came sharp, however, sharpening the knife with an extra fine stone made it even better!

This is my first Musashi knife, and I am pretty sure it won’t be my last. What an amazing feel, blade and look. I spend more time chopping now than I have ever done because it actually feels enjoyable. Thank you for making such a great blade.

Beautiful to use , every time I use my knife it’s a ritual , out the box treat it with respect, use it , wash and dry and back in the box . Love it ! Thank-you
