Community Reviews

"I have to commend Japanese Knife Import's integrity. I was a first time buyer on their website and they didn't want to ship until they got in touch with me to confirm I knew how to care for it. That's incredible integrity there." (r/chefknives, 2020, 938 upvotes)

"A giant thank you to Japanese Knife Imports. They made my dad's 80th birthday on Friday." (r/chefknives, highly upvoted)

"JKI is probably the most recommended retailer on this sub for a reason. Jon knows his stuff and the Gesshin line is outstanding." (r/chefknives, 2023)

"Free Shipping on most Domestic Orders over $100. Want us to take care of initial sharpening? Just ask." (japaneseknifeimports.com)
