Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor kniver produsert i Kina markedsføres som japanske. Dette er ren villedning. De samme knivene finnes på Alibaba til langt lavere priser. Vær ærlig med kundene – oppgi tydelig... Toon meer

So pleased with this Aiko Dasmascus Steel Knife Set and Whetstone. These knives are super sharp, seriously elegant, well weighted and crafted and feel built to last a lifetime. No more cheap knife set... Toon meer

False company and Scam Operation

I am not sure if they are a victim of spoofing or if they are part of some elaborate scam operation. Their customer support seems to be legit but the whole thing is just shady.

They have a uk site that mimics a legitimate Japanese knife industry but it’s all false and instead functions as a drop shipping site connected to some manufacturer in china.

Do not trust these people as I clicked on one of their tracking links which in turn prompted me to use an Apple Pay free payment to confirm details which then triggers a monthly reoccurring payment to some company called Fitness1st Co. I had to engage with my bank to stop this as you can’t do it on the site because of the phishing risks involved.

Not to mention they heavily overcharge for their products.

DO NOT USE THEIR SITE

Stunning blades

I had a fantastic experience, this is the second time I’ve purchased stunning Japanese damascus knives from this company. The quality is tops, the service excellent and the knives are beautiful too.

No delivery

No delivery, fobbed off with 'my address is too remote'! The original tracking number didn't work, then no tracking number supplied for a 're-delivery' and no knives received. Upon checking Companies House, this company is actually Bac2Bac Ltd trading as Santokuknives.co.uk, Registered number: 11425420 with net liabilities of over £18,000, 4 employees and registered office at The Old Coach House, 2a Main Street Countesthorpe Leicester. Presumably any delivered items are shipped from China. D H Backus - Director - you should be asahamed of yourself. Avoid!

Antwoord van Santokuknives

Good morning Ms Lannin,

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

We're sorry to hear that you would prefer to cancel your order. We are, of course, happy to arrange this for you.

When the original carrier encountered a delivery issue, we offered an alternative solution and specifically asked:

“Could you please confirm if this solution is acceptable to you? Once we receive your approval, we will proceed with the necessary arrangements to ensure your order reaches you as quickly as possible.”

You replied, “That's fine,” so we proceeded as agreed.

We also explained at the time: “Please note that this process may add an additional 2-3 business days to our original estimated delivery timeframe of 7-10 business days.”

Having received your confirmation to proceed on 16th August, yesterday, 24th August, was only the sixth business day following that confirmation and therefore still within the delivery timeframe we had advised.

Your subsequent communications requesting tracking, cancellation and a refund were received between 10:34pm last night and 1:18am this morning, when unfortunately our customer service office is not manned. We're sorry that this meant we did not have the opportunity to respond to you before this review was posted.

For reassurance, Santoku Knives is a trading name of Bac2Bac Ltd and our full business details are openly available within our Terms of Service, accessible from the footer of every page of our website.

We completely understand customers wanting to check the credentials of a company they purchase from and would encourage everybody to do so when making online purchases.

For clarity, we are not a dropshipping business.

We fulfil as many orders as possible from our Leicestershire HQ, with others fulfilled from our international warehouse, enabling us to efficiently serve our customers across the UK, USA, Australia and worldwide.

We're sorry that the delivery hasn't gone as smoothly as either you or we would have wished. We completely understand your decision and will, of course, now arrange the cancellation and refund you have requested, with our very best wishes.

Broken knife replaced

I had a knife that broke which was due to my wrong using, but customer service was kind enough to send me a new one to replace it as a sign if good-will.
Thank you.

Santoku are amazing!!

I couldn’t praise Santoku highly enough. Bought a set of Damascus knives a good few years ago and absolutely love them. This week I broke my cleaver using it to cut something it’s not meant for. Despite the damage falling outside of their warranty promise (my fault), they still offered to send out a replacement cleaver free of charge. In today’s world customer service like this is very rare and I must say I’m very impressed and even more grateful.

Be wary of this company

Be aware .co.uk web address but not in the UK and will take 2 weeks to arrive but they miss lead you into thinking it's 48 hours, bought 2 knives as a present for my son which I must say are stunning, but there blunt and definitely not razor sharp as stated, would not use this company again

Good Morning Mr Meredith

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we're glad to hear the knives themselves made a great impression as a gift for your son.

We're sorry the delivery time caught you out. To clarify, we don't advertise 48-hour delivery — our Shipping and Delivery policy states standard delivery of 7–10 business days (with processing and shipping of up to 7–15 days during busier periods): https://santokuknives.co.uk/pages/shipping-and-delivery.

Depending on the product, orders ship from either our UK or overseas warehouse, which is why some deliveries take longer than others. We appreciate this wasn't as clear as it should have been at checkout, and we'll take that feedback on board.

Regarding sharpness — that's not the out-of-the-box experience we want for you. Every knife should arrive razor sharp, so it sounds like something has gone wrong here. Please contact us at support@santokuknives.co.uk with your order number and we'll put this right straight away. You're fully covered by our easy 180-day returns and lifetime warranty, so we can arrange a replacement or refund, whichever you prefer.

We'd love the chance to resolve this for you

With all kindest regards
Louise

Perfecto tanto producto como servicio al cliente

Compré un cuchillo para regalar a mi pareja y fue un acierto. Primero la calidad, el buen acabado y lo bonito que es. Seguramente seguiremos comprando los cuchillos! ( ya estoy esperando las piedras para afilarlos) El envío tarda un poquito pero en cuanto escribes a su soporte te contestan inmediatamente y te informan. En cuanto al uso, en nuestro caso no somos profesionales pero si amantes de la cocina y se nota mucho el cambio de un cuchillo corriente al que compramos de Santoku. Gracias!

These knives are fantastic - highly recommend

These knives are fantastic.
We bought these on recommendation and are over the moon that we did.
We now have 5 knives, all bought individually. Postage was quick.
One knife took a little longer, once contacting the company they advised the knife was at customs and this happens on occasion due to the nature of the package.
This is also a lovely gift, comes in a lovely box.
PLEASE BE AWARE-these knives are extremely sharp and remain so. Use with caution when removing from package.

Customer service was amazing

Customer service was amazing. Very quick responses. Helped me with a replacement knife which was a settlement gift of my husbands after his father passed. I believe they went beyond their usual policy to help on this occasion and can't recommend their knifes enough!

Fantastic quality knives

Fantastic quality knives! I have had a few for ourselves and presents and always greatly received.
A special knife for the person who spends time in the kitchen. Would definitely recommend.

Very satisfied with the customer…

Very satisfied with the customer service of Santoku knives. They replied right away after sending an email regarding an issue with my knife, and they asked for the evidence, and I told them what happened. I thought they would never grant the warranty, but the customer service went the extra mile just to make their customer happy. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to family and friends who are looking for quality knives.

Absolutely delighted with the customer…

Absolutely delighted with the customer service received from Santoku knives. There were no qualms or questions asked once I provided some evidence, to replace a knife that I’ve had some time but had an issue with. They were absolutely top-notch in terms of offering a replacement and I will absolutely use them again and recommend them to other people who are looking for quality knives.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would.

No information on shipping only then to be told it will be another 15 days when tracking data says 48hrs. Costumer service is less than helpful. seems to be the method of business employed by Santoku Knives...
TL:DR Dont bother ordering - go elsewhere

Antwoord van Santokuknives

Good Morning Mr Lee

We're sorry your order hasn't gone smoothly, and we appreciate you flagging this.

On the tracking confusion: the "48 hours" shown on tracking typically refers to the final-mile courier delivery once your parcel arrives in the UK — not the full journey. Depending on the product, orders ship from our UK or overseas warehouse, and our overall delivery window is 7–10 business days (up to 15 during busy periods), as set out in our Shipping and Delivery policy: https://santokuknives.co.uk/pages/shipping-and-delivery. We accept that this distinction should have been made much clearer to you upfront, and we're reviewing how tracking information is communicated at dispatch as a result.

We're also sorry to hear our support team didn't resolve this to your satisfaction — that's not the standard we hold ourselves to. And we sincerely apologise...

With all kindest regards
Louise

Highly recommend. An excellent experience

Good communication. Magnetic knife was sent as soon as it was ordered with follow up emails from Santokuknives.
The knife board was beautifully package and arrived in perfect condition.
The board looks beautiful in the kitchen and is fun to use.
The magnets are the correct ones for the unit and grab them as you slide the knife on. Its the unexpected " catching " by the magnets which makes it fun for me
