Been using their stuff for a couple years before they had this shop. Very good stuff and friendly guy!

Bought a knife here and returned for their sharpening service. The team is exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable. I learned a lot from them and really appreciate their hard work. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality knives and excellent service

**Excellent Service, Genuine Passion & Outstanding Craftsmanship!**

Dan from Semi Black is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the knives he sells. You can genuinely feel his passion for Japanese knives, and he takes the time to share his expertise and give honest, practical advice.

He and his team did an excellent job fixing my knife handle, with great attention to detail and impressive craftsmanship. What really stood out was their willingness to help beyond just selling products. When I asked for advice on removing rust from my knives, Dan readily recommended a rust eraser for DIY maintenance, and it worked!

It’s rare to find someone who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely willing to share his experience and help fellow knife enthusiasts.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates Japanese knives, quality craftsmanship, and sincere, professional service. Definitely a five-star experience!
