Great product. Love that your made in Canada. Recommend to everyone.
This is my second Hizaki knife. It is really beautiful and I have no doubt it will be perfect for preparing all my vegetables. I am excited to use it soon. Excellent customer service, packaging and shipping.
I absolutely love my Hazaki Petty knife. It’s beautifully balanced, extremely sharp, and a pleasure to use. The compact size makes it incredibly versatile for precise cuts, slicing, and everyday kitchen tasks. It feels refined and effortless in the hand, while still being practical enough for regular use. A fantastic little knife that has quickly become one of my favorites.
i was between this knife block and another for quite a while, a knife block is a commitment. pulled the trigger and so happy that i did. it fits all of. my knifes perfectly and is a proper showcase.
the quality of walnut and leather is exceptional, knifes stay in place, stay sharp, even the girlfriend loves it.
recommend this to anyone looking for a different, canadian made knife block that’ll give your kitchen character and elevate it with sense of subtle luxury
i shopped this board for over a year wondering if it would be what i wanted in my kitchen, stylish and ultimately be worth it. the second i unpacked it, this cutting board became the perfect accent to my kitchen. love it and now considering the larger board to go with it
Great product and incredibly fast delivery! I’m absolutely in love with this knife. The quality, design, and craftsmanship are amazing. Highly recommended!
Bought the walnut knife holder as a gift for my daughter and her partner. The quality is outstanding and delivery was great. It will look amazing in their new home.
Would include a picture but they are still deciding where to place it. They are extremely happy with both the look and quality.
Un grand merci à l’équipe pour m’avoir accommodé sur le shipping! Le couteau était un cadeau et mon père l’adore! Merci encore de votre excellent service! 😊
Works incredibly well and looks super nice. The QR link for instructions on how to install it did not work so I lowkey struggled too much with that. Hopefully they can find a way to make that link work.
I have not personally used the knife since it was a gift. The recipient was thrilled with it, however. I appreciate your excellent customer service and speedy delivery.
Unfortunately, I haven't received the knives. I have reached out to the company relating to the matter but haven't heard anything back. Little disheartened in regards to the customer service

The importance of Chefs' advice
Working closely with chefs was extremely important in all our design process. If a knife or cutting board can last in a professional kitchen, it will surely do so at home.
Hazaki has now earned its place in some of the finest professional kitchens in the world.
