December 2025

With the holidays approaching, premium Japanese knives, handcrafted chef’s knives, pocket and outdoor blades, and custom one-of-a-kind pieces are moving fast. Once these limited runs sell out, they won’t be back until 2026. The rarest knives always vanish first — grab yours while you can. 👀✨

To make things easier, we even extended our weekend hours so you can drop by, try a few knives in hand, and take your time without the rush. Can’t make it to the shop? Explore our newest arrivals and holiday picks online.

And if you’re not sure where to start, our Knife Quiz below will point you in the right direction.

Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Birch Gyuto 210mm - Kakushin

Hatsukokoro Hikari Serie

Every week, one knife in the shop somehow steals the spotlight — and this time, it’s the new Hikari Gyuto 210 mm.

Why this one? Because it just feels right. It’s that rare blend of precision, comfort, and flow that makes you pause mid-cut and think, “Oh yeah, that’s the one.”

Despite weighing only around 134 g, it doesn’t feel fragile for a second. The SLD semi-stainless steel brings the razor-sharp edge of high-carbon, minus the high-maintenance stress — just wipe, dry, and keep slicing.

The 210 mm length hits that perfect balance: long enough for big prep sessions, compact enough for full control. The Migaki san-mai finish paired with a birch handle and white spacer gives it that timeless Japanese look that never tries too hard — just pure craftsmanship.

It’s the kind of knife that quietly earns your trust, one perfect slice at a time.

Among these models, you will find styles and shapes ranging from Gyuto, Kiritsuke, Santoku, Nakiri, and even Petty utility knives, as well as other specialty blades such as Sujihiki and cleavers (Chuka bocho).
