The Naniwa Professional line (previously known as the Chocera line) are super hard splash and go stones. These stones are slow wearing, fast cutting and HARD. They have a higher amount of abrasives and less binder than other lines from Naniwa, and are one of the best lines of stones money can buy in our opinion!This 2000 grit stone is a superb option to finish softer stainless steel, or touch up harder stainless or carbon steels. It works as a great maintenance stone for weekly sharpening, or for filling the gap in your stone progression, before higher grit polishing. Compared to other popular 2000 grit stones like Naniwa traditional or "Green brick of Joy", this guy is much harder and slower wearing -- it will feel a lot "glossier" and leaves a great refined edge, more than enough for home use, and everyday professional use as well!Dimensions : 210mmx70mmx20mm
A no-frills stainless steel scraper, great for scooping up dough off your counter and ingredients off from your cutting board!

— Hammered Damascus kitchen knife pursuing glittering beauty and sharpness to an absolute maximum —Hammered Damascus steel carefully polished by artisans is used. A high-end steel material VG-10 is used as the core (steel), which is sandwiched by 33-layer Damascus steel made by laminating and forging alternate soft and hard stainless steel sheets, achieving long-lasting sharpness. The beautiful hammered surface asperities create an air layer between the food and the blade, making the cut pieces easy to separate from the blade.In creating the Tangan RYU Premium Series, we studied the grip, the weight balance and other factors while assuming various methods of food preparation based on opinions from professional cooks to make improvements into details. These improvements and careful handwork by artisans finally brought about a kitchen knife that alleviates users’ fatigue or pain even during extended periods of use, providing dramatically improved usability. Try this beautiful high-class model that features excellent sharpness, resistance to rust, durability and practicality.[Product receiving the Good Design Award in 2016]
The Knife
The Tanganryu line features gorgeous black mircata handles with a full welded stainless steel tang, and ferrule where these knives balance. This balance point is more typical of European style cutlery so if you're interested in Japanese steel with a French/German feel these are a great option. Equally beautiful is the Tsuchime finish and Damascus pattern made from VG-10 stainless steel providing easy maintenance. The fit and finish is as close to perfect as we've seen and no detail has been overlooked, including the packaging for those who appreciate a nice knife box! ;)
The Sujihiki is meant for all things slicing. The long slender blade allows the user to perform nice long strokes and avoid sawing through proteins which leads to perfect, thin slices and no more tearing. Carving roasts, slicing brisket, thinly slicing fish are all within its grasp.
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.
The essential kitchen item -- the red handle/white spatula blade, safe for non-stick pans, and heat resistant up to 500F (260C). This versatile guy can tackle all your sauces and/or doughy textures -- never have any leftover waste from your bowls, pots and/or pans ever again! Can double as a turner, great for scrambling eggs and gently releasing omelettes as well.
Comes in both 10.5" and 14" sizes. White silicone blade and red plastic polypropylene handles.
The Naniwa Professional line (previously known as the Chosera line) are super hard splash and go stones. These stones are slow wearing, fast cutting and HARD. They have a higher amount of abrasives and less binder than other lines from Naniwa, and are one of the best lines of stones money can buy in our opinion!This 5000 grit stone is a fantastic choice to finish your carbon or powdered stainless knives and tools on, but I probably wouldn't take any German steels up this high!Dimensions : 210mmx70mmx20mm
Made from durable stainless steel. Handy dandy locking tongs, useful for serving salads to flipping food on the grill or pan. Built with an intuitive push to open, pull to lock mechanism.
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!
Pre-seasoned heavy duty cast iron skillet, great for searing and provides excellent heat retention for more even cooking and heat distribution. Comes in various sizes, ranging from 4 inch to 12 inch.
Made from one-piece cast iron and is oven-safe -- fantastic for baking, braising, pan frying, broiling, etc.! Metal-utensil friendly, no need to worry about any toxins leeching into your food! Great for home cooks and industrial professionals alike.
Compatible with electric, induction, gas, ceramic and halogen cooking surfaces.

Winners of numerous design awards and supporters of the Japanese national team at the Bocuse D'or their knives are popular with professional chef's and home cooks alike.
Ryusen Hamono works primarily with SG2/R2, a high powder stainless steel that is very hard and grinds super thin behind the edge. The blades generally have a shorter blade height, which makes them great for precise slicing tasks. Their profiles vary quite a bit, from aggressive sweeping k-tips to more traditional yet modern gyuto shapes. The blades are very consistent, as they employ both modern and traditional techniques, each blade is hand sharpened and impeccably sharp out of the box. Every handle has a unique pattern, particularly the Blazen line, which has a distinctly comfortable taper, compared to the Tanganryu line, which is a hybrid western micarta handle, also with a smooth finish.
From the Ryusen Hamono website...
～ High grade model that pursues brilliant beauty and sharpness ～
Among the many series of Ryusen knives, the "Oukokuryu" series was created with the aim of being the highest grade.The cutting edge is made of ultra-high-grade stainless steel "Super Gold 2" made by powder metallurgy, and the sharpness pursued to the limit achieves high sustainability and durability.In addition, 99 layers of nickel damascus base metal are hammered by skilled craftsmen to create a unique damascus pattern, resulting in a blade with unprecedented depth and beauty.The handle is made of stabilized wood that uses "poplar", which has a beautiful heathered grain and knobs. Stabilized wood is a stable material that is resistant to water and temperature changes by infiltrating resin into wood and hardening it. A handle with a presence that makes the finest blade stand out."Oukokuryu Series" A top-class model that thoroughly pursues aesthetics and quality and incorporates the spirit of the craftsmen.The best quality will deliver even more gorgeous moments.
The Knife
The bunka is to the santoku what the kiritsuke is to the gyuto. With a more aggressive tip and flatter profile than most santokus this bunka will excel at chopping and piercing tasks, and also more detailed tip work. The Bunka is an all purpose shape that is very similar to the ever versatile santoku. With its more aggressive K-tip, or reverse tanto tip, these guys can do everything the santoku can, but excel in finer tip work for things like brunoise shallots and garlic.

Makoto KurosakiWe're excited to have these knives in made by Makoto Kurosaki. Makoto Kurosaki trained as a sharpener and apprenticed under Hiroshi Kato-san, as part of Takefu Knife Village, based in Echizen city, Fukui prefecture, Japan. While Makoto is Yu Kurosaki’s older brother, he has his own shop separate from Yu's, and has sharpened several different lines from knife makers such as Yoshimi Kato and Takumi Ikeda, as well as Yu Kurosaki.
The “Style-K” line knives still have a great grind and geometry to them, they are slightly more robust than Yu's knives on the spine making them slightly less delicate. The fit and finish on these knives is also of a very high level with a perfectly smooth transition between the handle and ferrule, the joint between the tang and handle, and the rounding and polishing on the spine and choil.The 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 KnifeThe petty knife is the Japanese answer to the western paring knife. At the shop we consider them to be much more useful than paring knives with the added length, while said length doesnt get in the way when doing delicate tasks like capping strawberries or bruniose shallots and garlic. The added length also allows this knife to be use for butchery tasks be in boning out a pork shoulder, breaking down whole poultry, or even small fish. If the gyuto (or santoku, or bunka, we don't judge) is used for all your prep work on the board, the petty is for all your in hand prep needs and is the second most important knife to add to your collection!

The Sakon Ginga Octa-Grip series of knives feature a nashiji finish, brown pakka wood western style handles with no bolster and stainless ginsan steel. Although Ginsan is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the cutting feel is closer to the high-end carbon steel when sharpened to a nice bitey edge. With a great in hand feel, an easy to sharpen steel and a reasonable price point we think this is a great knife for professionals and home cooks alike!
The Knife
The petty is the Japanese equivalent of the western style paring knife. They're usually a little longer and I could never go back after using one. The idea is all the on board work is done with your gyuto or chef knife and everything in hand is done with the petty. Not limited to capping strawberries, peeling, turning, or coring veggies, and smaller butchery tasks like chicken, small fish, or deboning a pork shoulder.

Hatsukokoro Shirasagi
The Shirasagi line comes to us from Tosa city, Kochi Prefecture, Japan – made by a group of undisclosed craftsmen, and sharpened by Myojin-san, who trained at Konosuke (based in Sakai city, Osaka Prefecture, Japan). At the price these Migaki finish knives are a must have workhorse for any kit, the white #2 steel will take an amazing edge and is incredibly easy to sharpen and polish to your liking. The dark octagonal wood handle looks great with the rustic style of the blade, making it as much a show piece as a work knife.
The KnifeThese migaki variants of the Shirasagi line showcase clean work, with an understated finish that doesn't leave much to hide behind. A breeze to keep razor sharp once its set up, this knife finds a happy middle ground of size where it breaks down small lake fish like a breeze, but is capable of working on larger fish while remaining manageable in hand. Be advised this knife is not particularly sharp out of the box and will require an initial sharpening before use.
The Deba is a single bevelled knife, traditionally used for fish butchery in Japan. It excels at breaking down fish and fileting. Debas are typically heavier, have a thicker spine, taller blade height, aggressive belly, and stronger at the tip and heel, with a taper towards the tip. Single bevel knives are mainly made out of carbon steel, and can be sharpened extremely sharp, therefore are preferred by professional sushi chefs. This is a task specific knife, typically ranging between 150mm and 300mm in length.

The Yanagiba is a single bevelled knife, traditionally used for slicing fish and proteins. The long blade allows for effortless one stroke cuts, where the considerable weight of the blade will do most of, if not all the work. It is important to note that yanagiba are very thin behind the edge, and should not be used for rough tasks. Single bevel knives are mainly made out of carbon steel, and can be sharpened extremely sharp, therefore are preferred by professional sushi chefs. This is a task specific knife, typically ranging between 180mm and 360mm in length.

The Naniwa Professional line (previously known as the Chosera line) are super hard splash and go stones. These stones are slow wearing, fast cutting and HARD.
