Japanesechefsknife Reviews 

Dealing with JCK have always been a pleasure. I always get clear answers on all the questions or request. Shipping is always on time and the packaging is always tip top. Never had delivery related issues or purchase challenges. Prices are generally reasonable, not the lowest but perhaps some kind of loyalty discount can help with higher volume of continuous purchase.

I always enjoy shopping for fabulous Japanese kitchen knives on the JCK website because of their great selection and fair prices. The best part is when my new knife arrives, quicker than I thought possible, and I open the package and the knife is better than I thought it would be.

The last purchase I made at JCK,was a knife for a friend. He called me twice, just to tell me how well it cut an apple, or peppers. He had never seen a knife like this. What a great gift. Thanks again JCK.

Everything's perfect ! A+++

Ordered the knife on Wednesday December 8th, at 06.37 CET. On Saturday 11th, at 14.08 I could confirm its reception in good order. The shipping by FedEx from Japan to the Netherlands was extremely fast, and the customs clearance took only a few minutes.
From earlier experiences, I know JCK to be very serious, helpful and reliable.

i.ve been so happy with my initial purchase, i.ve returned many times for gifts i know friends will use for years.

i buy vg.10 knives for low maintenance
gifts and blue or white paper steel for those who want the ultimate edge but don.t mind pampering their knives with waterstones

I bought more than 10 knife from here, it is a great experience to get Japanese hand made knife.

Best communication, fast shipping, great product!

I've been shopping at japanese chefs knife for a while now. What distinguishes this store from other places is that they carry knives that have function in mind. Sure, they sell showpieces too, but they are easily distinguishable from the knives that the average worker needs. Other stores sell knives that are very collectible and expensive, but performance-wise, they are not up to the price. The knives sold at JCK are solid. Some of the best prices around and delivers during work time.

Delivery was fast and easy. The knives were all great! The customer support wasn't needed since it all went without a hitch. But I'm sure if I needed any help at all they would have been great.

I have nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect.

The organization is very professional and their customer service is first rate. The product they carry are of excellent quality. I have been purchasing kitchen cutlery from them since 2005 and probably have purchased 30 knives from them up to now. Products from the most economical to the most expensive (~$100 to $2000) are all of great quality in their respective price point.

Sent me a crap knife, blade was dull had not been grinded properly.

$230+ for a blunt "Japanese" Santoku thank you very much!

I love this knife how it looks, how it feels on the grip is a masterpiece. Unfortunately I had the luck that it was extremely DULL. Just because of its looks I give it 2 Stars. I had to sharpen it for it to be ok, but of course I'm not a master in doing this. Still I would buy once again from this side under the premise that they CHECK if any shipment is good enough for an end user.

The blade get dull on spine after two weeks of regular use. I totally love it but…

The looks of this knife is the same as the pictures and i was very impressed at the start but upon further inspections and cutting tests of this knife it turns out that the knife is infact not straight nor is the edge you can see a clear steer of the blade edge so the edge is not straight which makes it unable to cut well which resulted in this knife being a useless only good for decoration object.

The knife looks great, and holds well in your hand - but that's where the good ends. Firstly, compared to the other chef knives I own, using the same care routine and polishing, this knife easily its luster (it looks dull most of the time). Also, the metal polish I use also easily gets trapped in the engraving on the blade, and it doesn't really come off from washing, but rather, dislodges itself during cutting and food prep. I had intended this knife to be the workhorse in the kitchen, being of higher steel grade compared to my other ZA-18 knives, but Blue Paper 2 steel is too delicate for everyday use in a home kitchen, at least in my opinion. Firstly, it stained permanently within seconds after my first use cutting a red onion - which left brown spots that took awhile for me to figure out it might be patina, and which turned into black stains after I cleaned and polished those spots. Then, given its higher HRC rating, I thought it might be a good idea to use it for cutting harder food - which immediately chipped the blade irreparably right in the middle along with leaving a few dents around the chipped portion. Admittedly, I may not be an experienced user of Japanese chef knives bought in the shop!
