This is a beautifully crafted knife. The blade is beautiful and made with the devotion that Japanese craftsmen are famous for. The wooden handle is a lovely dark brown and fits nicely in my hand. This is more than a kitchen knife, it is a piece of art and deserves special care. No dishwasher, dry immediately after use and store such that it won't nick you or be nicked by other cutlery.

I've had this knife for about 3 years now and it has been great! It stays sharp, is comfortable and versatile. I love this knife and am looking into my second shun knife.

While I love the Kanso knives I had to return this one because I found it too bulky and heavy for me to use effectively.

I work in a restaurant, and this knife is amazing. Super sharp, it’s held its edge and is beautiful with vegetables. Would buy again
