Exelent service

Excellent products and service always

A perfect knife for my needs. Thank you for your recommendation.

This is everything I was looking for in a paring knife. The workmanship is top rated, the balance ergonomics and over quality is outstanding. Could not be happier with this purchase and looking forward to using this pairing knife for years.

Whenever Ryan from District Cutlery first showed this radius platen in action, I knew I had to have one. I sharpen professionally and make the odd knife here and there, and this piece of equipment has revolutionized my workflow on repairing and refinishing Japanese and Western-style knives. The price is very reasonable for what you get, and you know you're supporting a small business. If you want to thin or grind knives with a flat face, give the Pro-Style Radius Platen a shot!

These guys are knife sharpening wizards.

sharp out of the box. edge is straight. I own the petty from this same line. I bought that petty from a dif store, that store seems to mark up their tsunehisa stock by stamping their brand instead of tsunehisa. The price mark up is roughy 100usd added. I found this store with this Tsunehisa line. as far as I can tell the only difference is the brand on the front. I am not rich. I use these for work. Not terribly reactive. Compared to other knives I use that the internet claims to be highly reactive, these shiro 1 knives are moderately reactive...
I am diligent with my maintenance. During service I keep towels solely for drying cleaning. if I know i wont prep a bit or cut proteins I put knives in sayas
Great communication. Fast service. Knives came back super sharp. 100% recommend to anyone who isn’t comfortable on the stones.

This is a great product for anybody trying to elevate their sharpening game to the next level. Whether you’re just sharpening and looking for a crisp bevels or doing a full regrind, this is a MUST HAVE!

Very nice quality it has help my quality of sharpening greatly!

I liked how they treated me, I loved the knife

Looks beautiful! I saw someone else who was thinking of getting the same knife but not thinned and sharpened at District Cutlery. Not only was it more expensive, it didn't have the added value that Ryan Swanson and his crew give the knives when they "tune them up".

LOVING IT!

Loving this paring knife! Can HOLD an edge!!

ok, turned out to be a bit too small for me so I will have to get a medium but it has a great graphic on it!
