Hand forged knives

Conversations with clients have convinced us that it will be useful if we open a new section within our store - hand-forged knives. And we will immediately explain why.

From our experience, we can conclude that only a few buyers know how to correctly identify the origin of a particular knife. And we do not begrudge them at all, on the contrary, we fully understand them. Unfortunately, each of us encounters incorrect information on a daily basis. This is how we politely named the effort to lie. It doesn't matter if it's politics, relationships or business. We simply live in a time dedicated to the "handy". We are old school and we intend to continue to stick to honesty. Fortunately, time proves us right that this is the right way.

In the offer of even the most prestigious sellers, hand-forged hizukuri knives occupy only the smallest shelves. Often with the information "Sold out". This is so for several reasons. There are woefully few masters and there will be even fewer. Upcoming generations have other goals. They are diametrically distant from dirty, noisy and hot workshops. Many big names have passed the age of seventy, and not everyone has raised a successor. Production is time-consuming and it takes years to meet global demand. Of course, there is also the price factor. What is created many times longer has, logically, higher costs.

In addition to correct sellers, there are others on the market. They will swear to you that the knife you are holding is not stamped, but forged by hand. They claim this either out of lack of knowledge, as they are just peddlers, or, worse of course, in an attempt to deceive you. An experienced knife connoisseur can quickly identify the method of its manufacture, but there are many tricks that the inexperienced can fall upon. Here, too, the general rule applies - buy only from verified sources.

You may be wondering why you should prefer such a knife over a stamped one. It's a good question, but the answer is too complicated to address here. You probably wouldn't read this article. Let's at least try this way: Why do you want to have an original painting at home and not its reproduction? This is of course only one aspect, but this topic has many more. However, taking them through requires an interactive platform, not our monologue.

In this section, we offer you excellent pieces from truly recognized masters. In order for you to have them right away, we had to order them two to three years in advance. As it turned out, it also brought indisputable advantages. Some masters quit and their products gained even more exclusivity.
