If you want something a little flashy but still with a classic Japanese/Western hybrid design, the Hazaki Pro is for you. Beautiful Damascus stainless steel and a smooth walnut handle make a hell of a combination. -
Shizu Hamono GEN
A great, accessible knifeline for those who want a slightly more unique looking knife. The beautiful layers of damascus are complimented by the more rustic dark finish behind. -
ICHIGO Nezu
Great for someone looking to upgrade from their favourite western knife, or first Japanese knife to something with a little better edge retention. Chef de Partie using their knife all day everyday but don’t want to worry about it chipping or going dull! Value. Performance. Upgrade from the classic. Looks and feels great!
