Our Story

Hi, I’m Nino and I'm a Sushi Chef with over a decade of experience and a lifelong passion for Japanese knives.

Since launching my store on etsy in 2020 (https://www.japanesevintageknife.etsy.com)(Please check out my Etsy Page for my Sales, Reviews and Feedback) we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading vintage knife shop. Our mission is to make high-quality Japanese knives accessible to everyone, offering a wide range of options for both budget-conscious buyers and serious collectors. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned chef, we have the perfect knife for you.

Our carefully curated collection features new, used, and vintage knives, stones and kitchen tools all imported directly from Japan. Each knife is selected for its exceptional craftsmanship, performance, and value, ensuring you receive the finest tool for your kitchen.

If you need help choosing the right knife or want tips on maintaining a sharp edge, don’t hesitate to get in touch as I’m always happy to help!
