Ivan Ramen "The knives are incredibly light and so sharp that I really had to pay attention while using them. They're very reasonably priced... I don't plug too many things but you should take a look. They're terrific."

- Ivan Orkin (AKA Ivan Ramen), chef, restaurateur, and author
Amy "My husband and I fight over who gets to use our Jikuu knife. I never knew what a difference a good knife could make and we are not willing to use anything else now! This is now my go-to gift for friends as well."
- Amy, Tokyo
Miki "I can't call my previous knives, 'knives' anymore. Jikuu knives have a new level of sharpness. I have used very well known Japanese and German knives before. But I use my Jikuu knife the most in my kitchen because of its sharpness and its lightweight. With such high quality, it’s very reasonably priced."

- Miki, Tokyo
Sam "I needed help figuring out what type of knife to buy and the women behind Jikuu helped me every step of the way. I also know they are there if I ever need anything in the future like replacing a handle or taking a sharpening class. They’ve got my back!"
- Sam, Tokyo
Ayako "I have never cut a tomato so perfectly before. And not only tomatoes, my knife has made so much of cooking fun: from slicing chunky steak to mincing onions. I bought another knife as a perfect gift for my son and daughter for their new homes."
- Ayako, Tokyo
