I normally buy more expensive knives like Henkel but tried this one for a second home. OMG! It is excellent! Very sharp and really great dicing veggies, i have an $85 serrated tomato knife I always used for dicing onions. Not any more. This cuts them like butter. I’m plant based. Feels good in your hand and gets the job done. Impressive looking too. Read more

This is a really nice, solid knife. It is sharp and looks nice, but is also useful for many tasks. 2 things that I didn't enjoy- 1. The stain on the handle dropped on the counter when wet. Granted you are not supposed to let this knife soak in water, my fault, but I just got it pretty wet and that happened. 2. When companies advertise "non stick". The Damascus pattern looks like it had the potential to stop this, but it doesn't. Now that also depends on how you cut/chop. These are minor issues I personally have. I bought 3 different types of knife, which is all I thought I needed. Turns out, I will be adding a paring knife too. I recommend the cleaver, boning/filet knife and the Slicing knife for a 4 PC collection. Read more

The Syokami Cleaver Chef Knife has instantly become one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. It has the perfect blend of power and precision. The weight is balanced beautifully -heavy enough to glide through thick cuts of meat, yet nimble enough to handle detailed slicing and chopping. The edge is insanely sharp straight out of the box and stays sharp even after repeated use on tougher ingredients. The craftsmanship is top-tier, and the handle feels secure and comfortable, giving you full control no matter the task. It’s one of those knives that makes you WANT to prep food. Whether you’re breaking down meat, chopping veggies, or doing everyday cooking, this cleaver-chef hybrid performs beyond expectations. Absolutely a 5-star knife. Highly recommend! Read more

This Nakiri is a BEAST – Slices Paper Like Butter & Turns Heads in the Kitchen!I’m not a pro chef, just a home cook who loves sharp tools, and the SYOKAMI 7.2 Inch Japanese Nakiri is straight-up dangerous in the best way. Out of the box, I did the classic paper test—held up a sheet of printer paper and let the blade fall. Clean, effortless slice. No drag, no tear, just shhhhk. I actually laughed out loud. My wife walked in and said, “Whoa, what is that?!” Instant compliments.Razor Sharp & Scary Good: Cuts onions like they owe it money. Juliennes carrots into perfect matchsticks without crushing. Even herbs? One gentle rock and it’s a chiffonade party. Handle & Balance: The ergonomic grip is chef’s kiss. Fits my hand (medium-large) perfectly—secure even when wet. The weight distribution is spot-on; it feels alive, not heavy. I’ve used it for 45-minute prep sessions with zero fatigue.Build Quality: High-carbon Japanese steel—takes and holds an edge. Full tang, seamless fit. Comes with a protective sheath (smart touch). Bonus: Looks stunning on the counter. Matte black blade + wood handle = kitchen flex.If you want a Nakiri that performs like a $200+ knife but costs way less, this is it. I’m already planning to gift one. SYOKAMI, you’ve got a fan for life. Read more

I purchased the 3 knife set and I liked the box it arrived in. The handle is easy to grip and the ridges for your pointer finger to rest is wonderful. It helps you keep control of the knife when cutting. They are beautifully manufactured and much more shaper than the knife’s you would purchase in a blocker block. So be very careful. I would purchase these again and will be adding more knifes to my collection. I will be recommending these to my friend and family. Read more

Well made knife. Heavyweights. Super sharp. Great price with coupon. Slices through stuff like butter. Arrived quickly in great packaging to prevent damage. I do wash this by hand and dry it immediately, as I do all my knives. They last longer that way. Read more

This has quickly become one of my new favorite knives. I have a couple of SYOKAMI knives, and they are all beautifully crafted, sharp, and easy to use. They fit comfortably in my hand and are easy to clean. The box it comes in is sturdy and a great way to store the knife to keep it safe. Read more
