Quickly shipped out, quality of the product is great and accurate to the description.
By William P.
Since I am a Japanese knife collector, I wouldn't typically buy a knife like this. Because it was a limited edition knife, I bought it. It turns out that this is a very fine knife, which surprised me. Both its appearance and performance are excellent. It came out of the box razor sharp. As usual, it's a pleasure to work with the Tokushu people. On the same day I bought the knife, it was already packaged and on its way to me. I'd heartily recommend Dao Vua and Tokushu knives. Excellent business and product.

DAO VUA SPECIAL EDITION CARBON STEEL KUROUCHI 240MM KIRITSUKE. I am a collector of Japanese knives, so this is not a knife I would usually purchase. I bought it because it was a special edition knife. To my surprise it turns out that this is a very nice knife. It looks great and performs extremely well. It was razor sharp out of the box. As always, the guys at Tokushu are great to work with. This knife was packaged up and on its way to me on the same day as I made the purchase. I would highly recommend Tokushu Knife and Dao Vua knives. Great company and a great product.

We are standing by to assist you further and make sure that your needs are not only met but exceeded.

Excellent communication with buyers

I really enjoyed my buying experience with Tokushu Knife. My order was sent out quickly and they kept me well informed of the delivery date and tracking. I purchased the sharpening service and my knives came razor sharp. I will definitely be doing business with them again.
