There exists in Japan a class of cutlery for which there is no equal anywhere else in the world. Following centuries' old traditions, a dwindling handful of blade smiths produce a class of knives the famous author Suetso Yanagi describes as "objects born not made". Unrelenting training, self discipline and adherence to the strictest standards limit their production to a few pieces per month.

   For over 30 years, The Japan Woodworker, in addition to woodworking tools, has imported a variety of these master quality kitchen knives. As a result, our tools and kitchen knives are used by highly respected craftsmen and chefs around the world. In 2001, we decided to make these superior quality knives and accessories available to a wider audience. Thus cutlery.japanwoodworker.com was born.

   When you use one of our kitchen knives, you will immediately savor the difference in your cooking. Our kitchen knives are a pleasure to use, and you will quickly appreciate your investment in quality.
