I had a private knife sharpening class for single bevel knives with Maulik and I can say that I had a great time. Maulik was very attentive and showed enthusiasm for my passion for Japanese knives. He went into detail about the theory behind the sharpening of single bevel knives and we ended up talking about knives until half an hour past the finish time! I must say in the end the knife I sharpened was razor sharp 🔪 would definitely recommend and I’m thinking about going back for more classes!

Wanting to be able to sharpen my home cooking knives independently, I attended a knife sharpening class in early July, taught by Maulik. He's clearly an expert in this area and a real wealth of information. The class was fantastic and I left with both theory and practical knowledge on how to maintain my (not that expensive) home knives. Highly recommended!!

Loved chopsticks collection. Staff is very helpful & kind. I asked for a display piece of a chopstick & was told to open a packed one and check on my own. Been to another branch at marble arch before & staff thier was similarly nice & helpful too and it had more tableware collections

It is sometimes unexpected to see how much information there can be on a topic like knife and sharpening. As a hobbyist, I decided to take a knife sharpening class to learn more, and I thoroughly enjoyed the session, which was both knowledgeable and professional yet approachable. I learned the basics of a new skill that will allow me to customise the way I use my humble knives for cooking. Thanks!

I recently purchased a Japanese knife from Christian, and the experience was excellent. They were knowledgeable, patient, and helped me find the perfect knife for my needs. Highly recommend their expertise and service!

This knife company has all sort of different knives and it is sort of reminds me of a ToysrUs of knife shops. If you are a professional chef to a knife collector this is the place to go to. Is it overwhelming yes it is as there is such a huge range. Are the staff helpful yes they are very helpful so helpful I ended up buying a knife, well a meat cleaver made in Japan for 69 pounds yes it's massive but it does an amazing job one I can chop up meat with bones easily. They have all the different types of knives, all to a very high standard, yes they can be very expensive but it's an investment. They all the sharpening stones and tools etcetera. Also you can pay them to sharpen your knife. If you found my review helpful please click like. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this knife store as much as I do.

To owners: Don't spit in my face and call it rain. To customers: Don't let them handle your knifes if they are precious to you. The gentleman in front of me picking up a knife had the tip of his bunka missing and the point was bent. My freshly serviced knife had scratches and a chip. When insisting that it's not OK, the rhetoric changed rapidly from "it was like that when you gave it to us" to "it will never be perfect". Disgraceful. This was my third time sharpening and receiving an amateur service and excuses. Good knifes and knowledgeable staff but I will not set foot in any of their shops again after being insulted and getting told "mate, it's razor sharp".

Loved the idea of the store and the products. Cant speak much about the quality as I’m still waiting for my order. The staff tho wasn’t very great :/ The guy that “helped” me was not very helpful but rather sarcastic and inpatient. Loads of products inside the store but not very well managed especially the downstairs area. Definitely recommend just not the Soho store.
