A Few Good Knives

We make the knife purchasing process easy and transparent by curating a collection of knives that are strong, sharp (beware!), and low maintenance. Less work, more fun in the kitchen.

Our chief knife maker, Hisatada Kawashima, selects the steel that is best suited for the specific task. More importantly, he hand-crafts each knife with the precision gained from 60 years as a dedicated craftsman.

We offer four knives – the most essential for any kitchen.

 

  • The NAKIRI. It’s lightweight and rectangular blade makes it a vegetable slicing extraordinaire. Unique to Asian cultures, this length and shape of the blade allows vegetables to be cut in one motion. Available in four handle options.
  • The SANTOKU. An all-purpose beauty with a sharp tip to make it ideal for meat, poultry, and fish, this one is destined to be your every meal workhorse. The sharpness of the blade means a clean cut without damage to the food in prep. Available in four handle options.
  • The SASHIMI. A singular beveled knife, designed long and strong to cut thin slices of fish. Made from Blue 2 steel for perfect precision. Available in traditional Japanese white handle.
  • The SHORTY. A utility/paring knife, made of Silver steel,  gives control with its shorter blade. Perfect for smaller tasks, the shorty is still a big knife. Available in dark brown handle.

Japanese cutting board

Made from softer woods like Japanese gingko wood, these traditional cutting boards are a favorite of Japanese chefs for a reason: they make slicing and chopping smooth with less wear on the knife. To boot, the wood contains flavonoids which are anti-bacterial and prevent mold growth. Given the light color and softness of the wood, it’s important to wipe down the board after use and expect some nicks along the way.

Wood: Gingko Size: 24 cm x 45 cm x 4 cm|
