Pure scam. Made in China and not damascus folded steel but embossed printed paint to simulate damascus. I'm a decades old knife collector so I know the difference! Do not buy from them!

I ordered the Mito Santoku knife
I ordered the Mito Santoku knife as well as their paring knife. Very pleased with the quality. Some of the more expensive knives on the market are less versatile and not as well balanced.

The knives and service were great
As someone living alone and cooking at least 4 times a week- I was constantly looking for a knife that matches all my needs. A knife that is sharp yet safe, strong yet easy to manage, and a knife that looks. The products and service were both great! I love the looks and the weight of the knives.
