Excellent knives

Excellent knives. Beautifully presented. I was gifted the first knife and have since purchased 4 more knives and the sharpening stone. They are beautiful to use.

Beware, there is no Kamikoto customer care

I received my knife sets and they are gorgeous. However, I did not understand how big they would be and they are not appropriate for my tiny living space. I emailed the support staff 3 days and 2 days ago and cannot get a response to return them. I am very disappointed in the complete lack of customer care response. Kamikoto support does not respond.

Lost Package with Quick response from Kamikoto support center

I purchased a buy one get one special on thanksgiving week and something happened during shipping. I waited a little longer than the estimated shipping date to see if it was still being delivered but it was stuck somewhere in a UPS center. I filed for a claim of missing package and UPS was not able to help, UPS told me to contact the seller and Kamikoto.com help center was quick at responding to my email, also was quick on resending my order.

Dear Pau Vilaplana,

Thank you for your order and taking the time to leave a review.

Though we offer free shipping for all orders, we are clear on our website that any import fees or taxes at customs are the responsibility of the customer.

With that being said we have now issued a $50 USD refund as a gesture of goodwill.

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

Kind Regards,

I bought two, one for a gift. One for me

I bought two. I tried to set it up, poor instructions and complicated to use. I want to send them both back. I want to receive a refund. I spent hours trying to figure it out.

Dear Rosmary Schoenthal,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Having looked into your order history, we do not notice anything that would require setting up as our knives are ready to use as soon as they are delivered, we also notice that only one knife was ordered in this order.

We have emailed you to clarify your concerns and see what help we can offer for your issues.

Please do not hesitate to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Kamikoto

Quality product

Quality product. Keeps a good edge. Even pretty quick delivery from so far away.
I don't know what to do with the presentation box. I keep knives in a drawer with protective sheaths...
