Bad ass knife! - love it!

As always, an outstanding job! Fast turnaround with the mail-in knives, and very sharp.

The platen works great.

goooood

The 210mm Tsunehisa AUS10 Damascus Gyuto with a Yo handle is everything I look for in a high-quality Japanese chef’s knife. Out of the box, it was razor-sharp, with a fine edge that glides effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and herbs. The AUS10 steel offers excellent edge retention while still being easy to maintain, making it ideal for both professional use and serious home cooks.
The fit and finish are outstanding — the Damascus pattern is visually stunning without being overdone, and the Western-style handle is extremely comfortable for long prep sessions. The blade geometry strikes the perfect balance between thinness for precision cuts and enough heft for versatility in the kitchen.
This knife has quickly become my go-to for everyday cooking. Highly recommended for anyone looking to step up to a reliable, beautifully made Japanese Gyuto.

Dropped the knives off to be sharpened and had them back an hour and a half later. The knives are so much better and sharper now.

Super little knife, I received very good comments on it.

Really nice weight and balance

Very happy with-it,. Its going to make knife thinning and sharpening mu easier.

Great and unique design!

Delivered fast and nice packaging. 10/10 would buy from again

I was promptly greeted by Warren, who was working on something. I discussed purchasing a new chef knife plus getting three other knives sharpened. After some discussion, Warren facilitated an agreement resulting in me taking my new knife with me, leaving the other three, he would sharpen and mail, free of charge, to my home in West Virginia.
I was in Washington DC visiting my son. I had purcahsed a larger chef knife, my first ever, from District Culery, several years ago. I didn't want to get the knife sharped at home, so I brought the knife with me, with two other Cutco knives, to your shop to be sharpened. I am most pleased with your service

Sharp knives done with a quick turn around time

Thx Ryan for making a smart,innovative and useful platen! Got it immediately, it’s easy to see why you’re a community favorite!!

Awsome addition to the arsenal for sure.
