Japanese Knives, Made for the Left Hand.
Most Japanese knives are built around the right hand —
even the ones called "double-bevel."
We carry left-handed kitchen and bread knives
from makers we've worked with for years in Seki,
the city that's been making blades for over 800 years.
Three lines, three price points, three answers
to different questions.
Built left-handed, not flipped
A joyful left-handed life
Cooking, writing, opening a can, cutting paper. Small daily things, made easier when the tool fits your hand. We gather and make tools for left-handers, here in Gifu, Japan.
