nothing is better than your reviews

Highly recommended!

I bought a Hac knife for my family as a gift, and they’re using it with great contentment. It looks beautiful and cuts very well through fruits and veggies. It’s easy to use and because the blade is relatively small, it works best for smaller fruits and veggies. Highly recommended.

Outstanding!

I received from my daughter as a gift a knife  Long. It slices very well and is extremely sharp. The handle is mega hard. I have read about ironwood but this is the first time I had in my hand and I am absolutely impressed. Half of my life I have to deal with steel , metal and can safely say that the knife material is in the top three of the best I have ever dealt with.

Sharp & Pointy!

I just unboxed my „Ho“ . It feels good  to hold a lightweight and sharp blade in the hand, so different to industrial stuff
