Pure scam. Made in China and not damascus folded steel but embossed printed paint to simulate damascus. I'm a decades old knife collector so I know the difference! Do not buy from them!

I was in the market for a new knife when I saw that a discount code was offered via one of my favorite cookbook authors so I decided to try a set and I'm very glad that I did. They are still new so I can't tell how long they will hold up but I'm looking forward to using them for quite some time.

good quality for the money
I like the knives from Nakano. I just don't understand why you don't have a contact number to call. Which would better benefit your customers when we have a question. Instead of waiting for an e-mail.

Best knives I've ever had
Love my knives! I've ordered multiple times already and the customer service never fails. Their knife sharpener has been ideal in keeping my knives sharp. Definitely a perfect compliment to use in the kitchen. Recommend these knives to anyone who appreciates a proper knife in the kitchen.
