Collection: ICHIGO Haku

As a knife brand, Ichigo Ichie has two halves: Ichigo, meaning lifetime, and Ichie, one-time encounter. Ichigo are knives that we expect will stick around for years, that you can slowly build a set from or return to favourites to get gifts for loved ones. Ichie are knives that we love dearly, but may not stick around in our shops forever. Like a bag of excellent tea or a fine bottle of whiskey, we’ll savour them while they’re around.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million more times: I LOVE flashy, thin, light knives made from super high-performance steel. This is my dream blade. The very best knives make you want to spend hours chopping vegetables, and I could cut with this one all. Day. Long. What’s more, they’ve paired the feather-light blade with a light wooden ‘wa’ (Japanese) handle, so the whole thing is effortless to wield. Tens across the board!
