Japanese Knives

Japanese knives have a reputation for outstanding quality. Our range has been carefully chosen to include the finest materials and craftsmanship so you can elevate your cooking techniques.

Our Japanese kitchen knives are made using razor-sharp surgical steel. The blades are thinner and harder than a Western-style kitchen knife, allowing for an edge that stays sharper for longer. The cutting angle is also much more acute, lending itself to delicate movements that can’t be replicated with other styles.

This attention to detail in their manufacture means you’ll have a knife that will stand the test of time and reliably provide outstanding performance. Thanks to their unique blades, Japanese knives allow you to neatly slice through meat and fish without tearing the fibres - adding another layer of perfection to your dishes.

Our premium Japanese knives are available in different shapes and styles to suit your cooking needs. Choose from:

• Santoku - the name Santoku means ‘three good things’ - referencing its ability to slice, dice and mince. This makes it a versatile all-rounder suited to preparing meat, fish and vegetables. Most of our Santoku knives have a scallop-edged blade, allowing wafer-thin slices to slide easily off the blade.
• Yanagiba - Yanagiba blades are long and thin. They’re traditionally used for slicing through boneless fish without damaging the ingredients - making them perfect for sushi and sashimi. Their shape, length and superb slicing power also make them ideal for carving.
• Usuba - the Usuba has a cleaver-style blade, designed specifically for slicing vegetables and fruits. It’s made for precision cutting, allowing users to make thin, even slices. The tall blade also allows for better handling, ideal when slicing thicker vegetables. 
• Deba - a Deba knife has a tall, heavy blade that makes slicing through proteins trouble-free. It excels at perfectly preparing fish and filleting chicken and meat.

Regardless of the shape you choose, all our products are made to the same very high standards with outstanding attention to detail.
