Shibata Knives

Takayuki Shibata is turning out some excellent quality knives with premium steels and excellent grinds. His first offering is a nice series of SG-2 stainless knives called Kotetsu. They are thin, evenly ground lasers with excellent cutting performance.

The Kotetsu was a Japanese ship that had an unusual bow that efficiently cut through the sea and that was the inspiration for these knives with the bunka-like tips. These knives are stainless clad with SG-2 core steel (also called R-2). Shibata-san is a master sharpener and these knives are hair splitting sharp out of the box and they'll hold an edge a long time with this excellent steel.

CKTG is at heart a small business so the service is personal. They are one of the rare companies that actually dispatch the order the same day as receiving it and provide tracking information. It is great to deal with an individual by name and it�s evident that they take pride and love in what they do.

Had a problem with one of the products and they went out of their way to resolve. I would highly recommend dealing with this company. It�s nice to find a company who cares and they will get me as a return customer.

Mark is great at answering questions for knife nuts of all levels. His service is second to none. Really appreciate the time he puts into every email as well as the free forum he hosts.

Great experience working with Chef Knives to Go. Quick delivery, and they are great about returning emails. I'm actually waiting on my second knife from them. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Loved the instructional videos on the website.

Great service and quick shipping. Best selection of Japanese knives around. I recommend this site to all of my fellow culinary professionals!

Top quality service. None better.

Always the best. Quick shipping, description matches what is delivered and the price, you can't beat them. I always come here to order anything I might need for the kitchen and I am never disappointed.

I ordered several Christmas presents from Chef Knives To Go. Everything arrived as promised and all who received gifts from there were happy with them.

As always, the shopping experience at Chef Knives to Go was excellent. Fast, free shipping, great website description of the product, and the confidence instilled in me because I know that if there are any problems the good people at Chef Knives to Go will help me work it out.

My go to company for kitchen gear. Awesome selection of knives and tools. Super fast shipping. Never had a problem and questions about all products are answered quickly. Great customer service.
