Customer photo review of ACHUGAO HUNTING KNIFE

Ive turned this into a daily/work carry. I love the profile and ergonomics of the knife. The weight feels solid and substantial. The grip is solid and contoured nicely. After carving some stuff up on a trail, absolutely no hotspots. Build vs price ratio is top notch. This is a great knife. Easy to hone and sharpen as well. I usually carry a Bradford Guardian but after carrying this I appreciate the extra length it gives (lol) One thing i did change is solely due to personal preference. For belt carry I’m not a fan of bladetek belt clips so i did switch it off into nylon pull the dot straps. Makes it ride easier for a cross draw or scout carry. Took a couple pics right here to show an example. Overall 5/5 from me 🤙🏽

Customer video review of HUGUA – 2nd Anniversary Copper Damascus 8” Chef Knife

Absolutely amazing knife! The HUGUA Copper Damascus chef knife exceeded my expectations the moment I took it out of the box. The craftsmanship is beautiful, the Damascus pattern with the copper tones really stands out and gives it a premium, unique look. As someone who values Chamorro culture, this knife really resonates with me. In our culture, gathering around food is about family, respect, and connection. A well-crafted blade isn’t just a tool, it represents care, preparation, and pride in what you serve to others. This knife carries that same feeling. It feels strong, purposeful, and built with integrity. Performance-wise, it is razor sharp right out of the package and cuts effortlessly. It glides through meats, vegetables, and herbs with almost no resistance. The balance feels perfect in hand, and the handle is comfortable even during longer prep sessions. You can tell a lot of care went into both the design and functionality. This is not just a kitchen tool, it’s something you’re proud to use and display. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality, meaningful chef knife or a standout gift.

Customer photo review of HUGUA – 2nd Anniversary Copper Damascus 8” Chef Knife

Brot, when I received the HUGUA, I was very impressed with the craftsmanship from the handle, the blade and it being SHINARP. I’ll admit that I haven’t actually used the HUGUA for what it’s intended for, due in part that I just want admire it along with the other SHINARP items that I received. Eventually I will use them. Saiña Ma’ase again Chelu for the blessings that I received. Keep doing what you are doing by perpetuating the culture. Biba Mariana’s, Tim

Customer photo review of KIÑUTE 5-Pack Keychain Blades by CRANK

Overall somewhat satisfied with the product. Did not come with the metal little suitcase like the ones in the other reviews, very disappointed, Not exactly the knives pictured but still good stuffs. Packaging was damaged but that is more of a usps issue. I feel let down.

KIÑUTE 5-Pack Keychain Blades by CRANK

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your honest feedback — I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave it. I’m really sorry you felt let down. That’s never the experience I want anyone to have with Blades By Crank. I do want to clarify that the metal suitcase shown in one of the photos of Josh’s review was actually a personal storage case used by the individual in that picture — it wasn’t included as part of the product. That’s on me for not making that clearer, and I understand how that could lead to disappointment. Your feedback is noted, and it’s something I’ll improve moving forward. As for the knife details and packaging damage, I take that seriously. While USPS handling is outside of my control, the overall experience is still my responsibility. If there’s anything specific about the knife that didn’t match your expectations, please reach out to me directly — I’d love the opportunity to make it right. I’m grateful you still see the quality in the blades, and I truly appreciate your support. My goal is always for you to feel confident and proud using your knife — not “somewhat satisfied.” If you need anything at all, I’ve got you.

Customer photo review of Achugao Heavy Duty CRANKChete

We purchased the Achugao machete as a retirement gift for my oldest brother. He left home 20 years ago to serve in the military. He absolutely loves it and is already putting it to good use! Epic knife; beautifully done and very shinarp!

Store owner replied: Honored and super congratulations on the retirement! THank you for your service!

Customer photo review of ACHUGAO TACTIKU – Heavy Duty Hunting & Tactical Knife

I ordered the Achugao Tactiku for a friend of mine. I greatly appreciated the prompt delivery time of the knife, as well as the professionalism of Mr. Camacho. The knife is excellent, it feels lively in the hand with superb balance, but with the heft of something close to a Kukri. The knife leaves me with the distinct impression that it would stand equal to any task I could possibly find for it. The Achugao came with a snug fitting kydex style sheath, and even after numerous attempts to dislodge the knife using rather unorthodox methods, I can confidently say that the blade remains secure until I decide to draw it, allowing for absolute certainty in any hazardous situation or enviroment. The packaging of the knife is of the highest quality showing that Mr. Camacho holds to his craft with the highest standards and passion. Saepius Expertus, Semper Fidelis

Customer video review of Åntigu Tåktåk – Limited Edition Chamorro Heritage Cleaver

A SHINARP & beautiful art piece to add to my kitchen. Thanks to Frank and the team for bringing our culture to my everyday view & often use! Can’t wait to slice through all the protein like butter when making all the taste of home. 5/5 stars for sure & definitely worth the investment! Would be a 8/5 is if it was double sided or 10/5 if we could personalize with a last name. 😍 From an Acfalle in Oregon, Thank you for sending a piece of home to me.

Customer photo review of Achugao Heavy Duty CRANKChete

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. Shipping to Washington state was so fast, it got here sooner than expected. So i was not able to intercept the package before him. We were both so excited to see it, he opened it early. Machete has a nice weight to it and a beautiful design. It’ll be a great addition to our camping gear!

Customer photo review of Peskådot Damascus Fillet Knife

Definitely Shinarp out of the box. I love the quality of the knife and how it feels in my hands. I’ve used It on about 50 salmon already and it’s still shinarp. The steel itself is perfect.

Customer video review of Se'se' Series | Precision Forged 8" German Steel Chef Knife

I own both the first and second editions of the Sese, and without a doubt, it’s my ultimate go-to knife for most prep work. It’s durable, lightweight, versatile—and of course, super shinarp! To keep your knives shinarp longer, I highly recommend using a honing steel regularly. I’ve had the first edition Sese for a few years now, and it has never needed to be re-sharpened. The key is to hone your Sese before, during, and after each use. I could go on and on, but honestly, you should just try it out for yourself today!

Customer photo review of Tåktåk Series | Precision Forged 6.5" German Steel Cleaver Chopper

When I’m in the kitchen prepping for the family, I don’t have time to baby a knife. The Tåktåk is my go-to for all the heavy chopping—chicken bones, spare ribs, whatever. I don’t even think twice, this cleaver gets it done. It fits perfectly in my hand, has just the right amount of weight, and powers through the tough stuff so I can focus on feeding my crew. Reliable, tough, and SHINARP—just how I like it.

Customer photo review of Se'se' Series | Precision Forged 8" German Steel Chef Knife

As a mom of four, I don’t have time to mess around in the kitchen. This knife is shinarp and super reliable. It glides through everything—veggies, meat, you name it. The ease of use is next level. I don’t have to saw or fight with the food—I can just focus on prepping meals for my family. It’s my go-to, all-around kitchen knife every single day. – Sarah Camacho Wife | Mom of 4 | Family Chef

Customer photo review of Pripåra Precision Santoku 5.5" – Compact Power, Unmatched Precision

This is hands-down my favorite knife. The 5.5” size makes it feel less intimidating than a full chef knife, but don’t let the size fool you—this thing is shinarp! It’s my go-to for garlic, onions, veggies, and even breaking down a chicken. Super precise, easy to handle, and just feels good in my hand. Only thing is, because it’s high carbon steel, I’ve learned to dry it right away after use—which I wasn’t used to at first. But that little extra care is totally worth it. This knife seriously gets the job done.

Customer photo review of Pripåra Series | 8" Professional Japanese Chef Knife

I bought this knife when Frank first launched his knives collection. Prior to that, I had just been getting my knives sharpened by Frank’s sharpening services. None of my previous knives compared to this one. Not only does it look nice, but it feels nice as well - the weight, grip of the handle, angle of the blade. It stays sharp longer than my cheap ones. I can definitely say this is my favorite knife. It was worth the investment, and I am planning on buying the new 5 inch blade that recently launched to match.

Made the order online and it was ready for pick up the following day at the Agana Shopping Center. I purchased the Åchugao Pripåra Precision Chef Knife 8.5" w/ Black G10 Handle for a wedding gift for my nephew in the States. I think that every marriage should have a Shinarp Knife in the household for all the home cook meal preparations for the new family!
