Kakushin | Japanese Knives, Westerns & Customs

July 2026

The shelves have changed a lot over the last few weeks. New Japanese knives, one-of-a-kind customs, rare handle materials, fresh sharpening supplies, and some pieces we weren't expecting to get our hands on this year have all arrived.

If it's been a while since your last visit, there's a good chance you'll find something you've never seen before.

And if you haven't been following us on social media yet, make sure to check out the videos and reels we've been posting. We're sharing knife reviews, sharpening tips, behind-the-scenes workshop content, custom builds, product comparisons, and plenty of cutting demonstrations. For now, most of the content is in French, but English versions are on the way.

🛒 If you’re not sure where to start, our Knife Quiz below is a great place to point you in the right direction.

This Week’s Favorite

Blue 2 Series

Designed as an evolution of the incredibly popular Kokugei series, this collection keeps the same Aogami Blue #2 carbon steel core while refining the overall geometry and finish—delivering even better cutting performance without losing its exceptional value.

Hand-forged in Japan with a traditional Kurouchi finish and San-Mai construction, it offers outstanding sharpness, excellent edge retention, and the unmistakable cutting feel that only handcrafted carbon steel can provide.

Why is it our Pick of the Week? Because it takes everything people loved about the Kokugei series and makes it even better. Improved geometry, refined finishing, authentic Japanese craftsmanship, and performance that punches well above its price.
