Arrived in a timely manner

Arrived in a timely manner, knives are beautiful!
Chose the set with the sharpener, so we will enjoy the knives then sharpen as appropriate. We even found a tutorial for the sharpening, so no questions there.

400 import tax

After ordering my knives for a reasonable price (900 EUR), I got a delivery notification that I will be charged 400 EUR tax during delivery.

This is of course completely insane. 400 EUR in tax would indicate that the cost price would be around 4600 EUR.

Will be blocking the delivery and requesting a full refund as a result, very disappointed.

Awesome knives

These were add-ones to a set of Kamikoto knives I already own. Really the best knives you can buy for the price. Excellent workmanship, well balanced and super sharp. I’m a little nervous about sharpening with the sharpening stone but, I’ve been using the Kanpeki set for almost a year and they are still amazingly sharp.

Dear Mike Sherritt,

Thank you for your review.

We are disappointed that you have found the knives not sharp enough, however, we recommend that our knives are regularly sharpened using a whetstone.

As a gesture of goodwill, we have issued a complimentary Toishi Sharpening Whetstone 1000/3000 to sharpen these knives. You will receive email confirmation of this once it has been shipped by our fulfilment team.

Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if we can be of any further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Kamikoto

Dear Ruslan Mansurov,

Having looked into your order, we notice that it was cancelled at your request, prior to shipment.

All details on our knives from the sourcing of the iron to the final blade is available on our website on the about us page.

If there was a delivery attempt, please refuse this as your order was cancelled and it may still have been shipped. We cover all shipment fees, however, we are unable to influence the charges that customs may place on an order.

Kind Regards,

Kamikoto
