Last week we quickly sold out of a small batch of super high quality handmade knives. We are pleased to offer a few more, all made by expert craftsmen in Japan using blacksmithing skills that go back hundreds of years. Steel so hard it can only be shaped and sharpened by hand. An heirloom treasure for your kitchen made by master craftsmen, we bring to you not just the knives but the story of how they're made and how to use them.
