The Difference Between Standard Line and Premium Cutting Boards.
The only difference is the Standard Line cutting boards will show more of the natural characteristics of the larch – small knots or natural colour variations in the larch wood depending on the minerals found in the soil where the trees grew. Colours can range from pink to green, gray to dark brown.
There is nothing about our Standard Line boards that will affect the use or the longevity of them. They will perform as effectively as our Premium cutting boards. Our guarantee is the same as on our Premium boards.
*As these boards are handmade there is slight variance from board to board and the item you receive may not perfectly match the product photography. For this reason we do not accept returns on boards for the reason of "unsatisfactory patterns". If you would like to be sure you receive a board you are happy with send us an email and we'll be happy to send a picture of the exact board we'll be sending your way. Thank you for your understanding.

The Blacksmith
Based in the knife making capital of Japan (Seki City, Gifu Prefecture), Seki Kanetsugu was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, descendant of the famous swordsmith Kanetsugu, who worked during Nanboku-cho period. The Saiun line features a VG-10 core steel heat treated quite high at 62-64, a stainless damascus cladding, and a western style black micarta handle with a stainless bolster. These knives tend to balance more towards the handle, similar to a traditional European knife so if you're looking for that balance point, and a similar western profile with a steel upgrade and thinner blade look no further.
The Knife
Santoku translates to three virtues. Meat, fish, and vegetables, or slicing, dicing, and chopping. No matter what way you look at it, it implies the versatility of the knife. While you sacrifice some of the slicing capability of a larger gyuto, don't be fooled by its size, the santoku can get 99% of your kitchen tasks done without breaking a sweat, which is probably why its the most popular shape in Japanese home kitchens.
Knife Care (Stainless Steel)
Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.

"— Fine product with the warmth of natural wood, functionality and grace —This Japanese modern kitchen knife combining a blade where beautiful patterns stand out with a Japanese-style octagonal handle is also a popular model in overseas countries.High-quality ATS314 steel, which provides amazing sharpness and is commonly used for knives, barber/hairdressing scissors and other cutting tools, is used for the blade core. The blade is made of this core ATS314 steel and 63-layer stainless steel sandwiching the core, and was forged with the traditional Ryusen forging technique. It is a top-end blade achieving long-lasting sharpness and an elegant design.The octagonal Japanese-style handle is made of curly maple, characterized by its natural color tone, providing a gentle texture and grip. Octagonal handles have long been popular not only because the number eight is considered lucky in Japan, but also they are easy to grip.

Since this is a refined kitchen knife with long-lasting excellent sharpness, beauty and ease of use, it is perfect not only for everyday cooking, but also as a gift for your close friends."

The sizes specify the longest knife that will fit in the guard, so the 135 mm guard will properly fit a 135 mm knife, the 200 mm guard will fit knives up to 200 mm and so on. If you have questions about sizing feel free to use the chat feature on our site or send us an email.
The Suehiro Rika #5000 is the go to polishing stone in the shop, and what we use in our own sharpening progression for our sharpening service. #5000 is enough to build a near mirror polish and put the final touches on a screaming sharp edge.We like this stone because it wears slowly, yet still works fast and has a great tactile feel to it unlike some other higher grit stones that can feel a little too smooth. And its not so terribly hard that it takes ages to flatten or work up a slurry. With only a few minutes of work, with light pressure and a nice slurry not only will this stone give you a shaving sharp edge, but it will leave your knife with a beautiful polish as well.

We would say this product is essential when purchasing any whetstone. Keeping a consistent angle while sharpening is essential and impossible to do on a concave stone or one with ruts in it. Use this product between every 1 - 3 knife sharpening's to keep your whetstones in good working order. We use ours between every knife.Remember that compared to the diamond plates we carry that this is a rough grit stone and will wear away over time with use. If you let your stones go too far between flattening sessions a very dished out stone will cause this stone to become uneven as well and you can't make a flat stone with two uneven stones, so flatten frequently with these!
Simply add the Ceramic honing rod and knife of your choice to your cart and the 50% discount will be automatically applied. (Discount does not apply to honing rods purchased with higonokami and cannot be combined with any other discount code)
Much better for you knives than the traditional steel honing rod. This ceramic honing rod will prolong the life of your knife and help you cut down on trips to the stones. Use the white, black and a leather strop together and you'll have quite the edge retention system in place! The difference between the white and black aside from colour is the grit of the rod. Both are quite fine but the white rod is a coarser grit than the black rod and will therefore remain effective for longer and is best for general prep. The black rod is great for when you plan to use your knife for more delicate tasks like slicing raw fish. Product Dimensions :
Handle Length : 5.25 inches
Length of Ceramic Rod : 10.75 inches

A #700 grit stone is perfect for knives that haven't seen a whetstone for a while. It will help you achieve a new edge on your knife very quickly but will need refining on finer grit stones as the edge left after a #700 grit stone will feel a little rough. A #700 is a great step to take out some of the scratches a #140 or #220/#320 will leave after a repair.

The Blacksmith
Takeshi Saji is a master craftsman working out of the famed Takefu knife village, an co-op of incredible craftspeople renowned for it's kitchen knife production. In 1992 he was recognized by the Japanese government as a "Traditional Master Craftsman" and he was one of the founding members of the Takefu knife village. He hand forges each of his knives using the traditional methods passed down through the generations over the past 700 years.
Takefu Knife VillageThe Takefu Knife Village is a cooperative workshop in the Echizen region of Japan. It is the home to a long list of blacksmiths that we work with and many young and upcoming apprentices learning the trade. The area has a 700 year long history of smithing with roots in agricultural tools turned cutlery powerhouse.
The KnifeThe Nakiri is meant to fly through piles of veg prep, not to be confused with a meat cleaver, these knives are thin and light and should not be hacked through bones or rougher ingredients, but instead the great board contact of such a light knife will make chopping tasks a breeze. *These knives are very thin, and more prone to chipping or other damage with misuse that some other options that we carry at the shop*
Knife Care (Stainless Steel)
Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
Simply Wipe the knife with a damp cloth immediately after use to keep it from rusting or discouloring.
Never put your knife in the Dishwasher. The extreme heat will ruin the wooden handle.
Highly acidic ingredients (Onions, Tomatoes, Citrus) Will cause rust and oxidation to happen faster, thus the user must ensure the knife is wiped clean immediately after working with such an ingredient.
Should any rust form it can be removed using a rust eraser or a mixture of Baking soda and water to simply scrub it clean.
