Great Knive ! Great service !
Thank you

great all aspects are right on blade finish,handleferrel,the blade grind and balance.

Communication and service from Hokuti was first class. The fit and finish and performance is superb, it is very comfortable and has a nice weight and balance to it. This knife truly is a pleasure to use and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

This knife have a good performance. But the f&f need to work a little bit more. This is my own opinion.

I bought my Gyuto approx. 6 months ago. It is a perfect symbiosis of beauty, craftmanship and functionality. Photos on this website show the actual look of the knife. Everything is perfect and smooth.
Blade is light weighted and the tip is due to 2 shinogi lines very thin. This allows for delicate cutting even of small garlic cloves :-) Sharpness out of box is good, too. Of course can be improved. Blade retension is great.
Communication with Mr. Hokuto Aizawa, President of Hitohira, was fast, precise and very friendly.
I will definitely buy again at HITOHIRA!

Great service and quality products!

The fit and finish of this knife is top notch. Everything about it is just perfect. The handle is very clean looking and the kanji is nicely understated. It’s crazy sharp too.

Loving my new knife

nice cutting, good food release and superb look and finish. nice handle and ferrule, little time spend to judge the edge - piece of art and workhorse alike! Thanks to Mr. Hokuto for the fast shipping to Austria, only took a few days.

This is one of the nicest gyutos I have. The fit and finish are just top notch. In my opinion its performance is second to none. And I base that my experience with well over 100+ knives. Mr. Tanaka's heat treatment on B1 steel is absolutely amazing. Edge retention is superb, even in a professional kitchen.
These sell out fast, for a reason. I highly recommend.

I purchased this knife a week ago and received it 4 days later in the US. Knife came very well packaged. Very pleased with the quality of the knife's finish and the quality of the handle. Great service as usual! Another satisfied purchase from Hitohira. Thanks!
