This kinfe is very sharp after sharpening. When I filleting medium size fish and I feel nothing so easy for everything, thank berrfection store and tojiro..

It’s the best cutting board I could imagine

This is truly a beautiful knife. It is very well crafted, razor sharp out of the box and well balanced. Also, the Burfection team was wonderful. I had concerns about any gap where the blade meets the handle and they hand selected my knife to be one with zero gap. (This gap is not a flaw just my preference). They shipped the knife out to me very quickly and even sent me a picture of the actual knife they found for me. Bravo!

If you have never tried an artisan Japanese knife before you are missing out on a knife that can be superior to most production knives on the market.

Kazuomi Yamamoto is so far my favorite craftsman. The knife if beautifully finished, insanely sharp and has a very nice profile for push cutting. Bunka's have become my preferred chef knife as it blends the height in the heel for a comfortable pinch grip while having a flatter kiritsuke style profile for fine work. If Yamamoto san makes a Deba, I'd buy it! Hint hint.

I have more than 15 high end knives in my lineup such as Kato, Shibata Kotetsu, Miyabi, Shun etc... and this knife is easily in the top 3!

This is a great knife!

Fits my hand very nicely.

I cut sushi rolls and sashimi and did some neta cuts for nigiri. I normally use my Yanagi for these tasks, this knife worked really well for all task. Very versatile

Really terrific knife

Very happy!

What a piece of art by Anryu! Sharp and super well-balanced make that petty the perfect knife for an all-day use

I used this in conjunction with the polishing cloths available on this website. I have a cheap Yanagi that's been losing its shine and developed some spots. Running the polish and cloth through the meat of the knife restored the shine almost right away. This small tub should last me forever if I'm only polishing a few knives once every other year.

For the price, this knife is absolutely unbeatable. Extremely solid build, and ridiculously sharp. The sharpness compensates for the lightness of the knife and you can cut straight through anything. I have other knives in rotation, so I'll have to see how well the knife holds.

I've been using a random strop I bought from Amazon with decent results. This strop is definitely a step up when bringing back a razor sharp edge. One thing about this strop is that it's so good that it's also less forgiving if you're sloppy with your knife. It'll actually make your edge worse if you're not careful. But when done right, it gives you a beautiful edge.

I bought this knife because I wanted an Anmon style knife that was not too long, not too short so there was a good display of that unique forging pattern. Now that I have it, I'm very pleased with the balance and weight, preferring lighter and nimble blades. I recommend Nigara

I had watched Ryky’s reviews about Nigara’s craftsmanship. While I think turqoise and ornate handles are to be admired, I prefer ebony and more subtle toned handles. I have used my new sujihiki a few times now and I’m so glad I purchased my Nigara!

Show stoppin knife for sure. Grinds are very clean. Excellent fit and finish. Straight blade. No high/low spots along the profile. Blade passed all the standard cut tests. Balance is right at a pinch grip. Not crazy sharp, but does the job safely. Little CBN or diamond spray stropping goes a long way.
Bought other Nigara knives from various retailers, but the fit and finish on this one in particular was noticeable. Definately not my most expensive knife, but the aesthetics makes me baby it.

Great grind on these. Distal taper is perfect. Spine to edge is textbook perfect. Did some filing and polishing on the handle. Came out great. Customer service is definitely better than most vendors.

Super sharp out of the box. Excellent heft for only being 74g. Blade is reassuringly thick. 105mm length is the perfect size for what we were looking for.
