About Japan-knives

Our story (like many others) began with big plans and dreams. We are a group of people with a great passion for Japan, their culture and the knives they create. We wanted to share our passion with you. Each of us specializes in a different field and together we try to create a Japanese knife shop for the 21st century. We do not focus only on sales, the most important thing for us is customer satisfaction, getting to know their impressions of use and the ability to transfer our knowledge to the largest possible audience. To this day, we remember the shock and disbelief after cutting an orange with the first real Japanese kitchen knife we ​​imported. Without thinking and using force. It was enough to take it in two fingers and move it gently - it was "love" from the first cut. Now we know that that impression was just "foreplay" and we learned the real sharpness a few years later.

A real Japanese kitchen knife is not just a piece of polished and framed steel. Real Japanese knives have a "soul" and their production is a complicated process in which the master - blacksmith plays the most important role, forging a piece of steel "flat bar" into the "beginning of the knife". It depends on his skills and experience how brilliant the final product will be. For this reason, each knife is different, each master works with different techniques and finishes his works differently, but he puts his whole heart into each one.
