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!

Classic Chef knife and paring knife
I have the classic chef knife and paring knife. The are both very sharp and work excellent! The cut through food so smooth and easy. I would highly recommend! They are also beautiful knives. Customer service is awesome and quick to respond if you have any issues.
Excellent quality
I didn’t realize when I ordered one as a gift I was getting another one free but I am sure glad I did. It’s definitely my favorite knife now. It’s super lightweight and sharp. Definitely recommend this chef knife to anyone who cooks!

This was my first time buying from Nakano, their website was user friendly and clear. I was recommended by a content creator and they even added a special gift! What a nice surprise around the holiday season. The quality of the knife was incredible, very excited to purchase more products from this company :)

Love the chef knife and the customer service. Also the packaging is impeccable. Would be a perfect gift.
I enjoy cutting my steaks!
Lightweight with a good grip. I like when a knife is not overly heavy or too lightweight that it feels cheap. I’ve been using the classic chef’s set primarily for meat cuts, fruits and veggies and the weight of them as I use them is perfect, not too heavy not too light. It is incredible how smooth they cut through anything and how beautiful they are to look at. Their shape and length is just right, even for my small hands and the design on them is also beautiful.
