Japanese kitchen knives and tools, bought for you
Japanese kitchen knives are prized by chefs worldwide. Sakai, Seki, Echizen and Tsubame-Sanjo are the great knife-making centers, from hand-forged artisan blades to famous brands, and Tokyo's Kappabashi street is a paradise of professional kitchen tools. We buy directly from makers and specialist stores.
Tell us the style, steel, length and handle you want — or ask us for advice. We buy from makers and specialist stores and can have the knife engraved where offered.
Some countries restrict the import of knives and some carriers have special rules. We check your destination before quoting and ship knives securely packed.
Every request is different, so we quote each one individually. Asking for a quote is free and without obligation.
