"My refurbished knife has become my favorite knife. I got a great deal on a knife I otherwise wouldn't have purchased. It came razor sharp and had obvious wear on the finish. The overall condition was perfect for regular use, didnt feel like I had to treat it super delicate as much as a factory new knife. Now it has me wanting more furbished knives to get a deal on better steels!"
"This is my 1st carbon steel knife, and I’m so pleased with it! Affordable, beautiful, and came with a sharp edge. Highly recommend snagging a demo knife from the garage sale for knife aficionado newbies like me!"
"I was gifted this knife for my birthday. Looks beautiful, almost too pretty to use, i did say almost. Razor sharp slicer straight out the box. perfect for slicing small cuts like steaks and saku. The wooden handle looks and feels really nice. I'm not sure what flavor profile sharpnessbis but this knife has got it for sure. Only way to find out is to slice more stuff."
"I know it gets dry over there but my knife arrived with a crack going through entire handle vertically."
"Best deal ever."
"I got a Fuiwara Maboroshi 180mm Gyutu. So so happy with it. In great condition and came crazy sharp."
"It is beautiful and cuts like a dream"
"I was very excited after watching the pre-Garage Sale videos and learned about this refubrished Masakage knife would be included with great saving - especially it was mentioned that these knives could be better than new as lots of work were spent on restoring them. The listing had no detail of the actual condition of the knife. Shipping was fast, knife was well packaged and included a knife maker info sheet (nice touch). The knife was sharp and looked awesome (see first pic)!Upon closer inspection, there were lots of surface scratches (due to the restoration work) and the gap between the tang and handle were not filled (third pic - would be rust heaven). Suffice to say I was disappointed about the knife condition (perhaps due to false expectation). I was offered a full refund but decided to keep it, filled the gap myself and just use it. Considering the price paid it's a 4 star purchase overall."
"Bought as a knife with history…RETIRED DEMO…garage sale Cut watermelon slices…. no sensation of cutting! The knife is in great shape, a pleasure to use and saved 35%"
