I love the shape of this knife, the k tip is great. It is extremely thin light, like holding a razor blade. I enjoy that, but it won’t be for everyone.
The one issue I have with it is the handle has some quality issues that became apparent after washing it. I’m not quite sure what is happening, but it looks like the wood is developing some cracks, and also some sort of varnish is starting to lightly bubble. I will oil it and I expect it will be fine, but I wish either this wouldn’t happen or that I had been given care instructions to oil from the beginning.
CACutlery and More1 week agoWe're glad to hear you love the shape and k-tip of the Tojiro Reppu.
Sorry to hear about the handle quality issues you experienced after washing. Oiling it regularly should help with both the cracking and any finish bubbling you're seeing. I will reach out to you to discuss a replacement. Thanks for the honest feedback - it helps us improve!
