A knife I just had to highlight, a Tetsujin Special Blue #2 Rentetsu 210mm Gyuto.
Made with old wrought iron as cladding, bringing out the beautiful inconsistencies in the old metal. Completely hand forged and hand laminated, a blade showing the craftsmen’s deep understanding of metallurgy.

Forged by Toru Tamura San
Sharpened by Naohito Myojin

Karasu level 2!

For the past month we’ve been working on our new store and while there’s still a lot to do you’ll find us on our new spot starting Monday.
Friday, April 27th is our official opening day.

On the 27th we’ll organise a celebratory opening day with, and this is not exaggerated, a huge selection of special knives that will only be available in-store. A sneak peak above.

Our address will stay the same but onwards the entrance will be the main door on the corner. You won’t miss it.

We will use the next two weeks to get the know the new store and finish our to-do list.

As many of you know our store is now in the cute little basement on the Weteringstraat 19.
This spot has served us very well the last 5 years but being small we’ve simply out grown it. For storage and especially for our sharpening services it was apparent that we needed more space if we wanted to level up our game.

The solution came from the wonderful restaurant . They have had their bakery and private dinning on the upper part of the building. As of now we’ve switched places. Their bakery will continue in the basement and we have moved the knife store to the upper parts.
It’s been a blessing to release my dream store on this beautiful location, all thanks to them. So mega huge shoutout to , thank you!

At the same time huge thanks to all our customers and the craftsmen for buying and making these wonderful products.

Big love to , would not be here without you!

From the 16th onwards our opening hours will be as normal, Monday to Friday 11-1730h. The sharpening services will be up and running that same week.

Hope to see y’all in the new store! 🫶
