“Thrilled to have found somewhere that sells replacement knife sheath pins! Having lost a couple but not wanting to buy new sheaths, this saved us a fortune (and got me out of the dog house for losing them). I was also thrilled not to have to pay ludicrously disproportionate postage costs. Quick despatch too. See you again. Thanks”
“I purchased two of the Sakai Takayuki VG10 knives with American Cherry handle.
The knives are excellent quality. They look superb and I've been using them for a while now. They are extremely sharp indeed, just what I wanted and they make short work of cutting just about anything as you'd expect.
They handle very well indeed and while I am very careful, one of them did bite me, just the once.
These are by far the best purchase I have made with respect to knives. I'm not sure how long they will keep their sharp edge but so far I'm impressed.
The only downside for me was the cheap plastic sheath they came with, for the price a more robust one would be expected.”
“Great service and the knife is perfect. Sharpest out the box knife i ever bought.

“I have mixed feelings. I am happy with the knife and the saya I have bought but there was no ebony pin in the parcel. I have emailed The Sharp Chef but I haven’t got any answer.”
Hi Marek,
I am sorry we didn't reply to your email quickly. We did reply the next day (Saturday) as we had to catch up at the weekend from such a busy week.
We also apologise for missing the pin out. We do check that when we package saya as the pin is in the same plastic wrapper, but it must have slipped out somehow without us noticing.
We noticed you had also placed a 2nd order with us so we were able to add the missing pin to that order and ship it to you on the Monday.
I hope your 2 orders and our response now makes up for your mixed feelings at the start.
Many thanks,
The Shap Chef Team.

“Sharp Chef is my first stop for kitchen knives. The quality of steel, the craftsmanship, and, importantly, the site and prompt service are hard to find elsewhere.”
