Kakushin | Japanese Knives, Westerns & Customs

Septembre 2026

Back-to-school season is here, and our pre-holiday restocks have officially started rolling in. In the last week alone, more than 1,000 new boxes have arrived at the shop — and we're still unpacking. New Japanese knives, restocks of popular series, fresh sharpening supplies, accessories, rare pieces, new handles, and plenty of products we’ve been waiting months to receive are now hitting the shelves.

If it’s been a little while since your last visit, the shop already looks very different — and there’s a good chance you’ll find something you haven’t seen before.

And this is only the beginning. We’re already preparing inventory for the busiest months of the year, with even more shipments scheduled to arrive over the coming weeks.

🛒 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

Hatsukokoro Blue 2 Ebony Kurouchi Gyuto 220mm - Kakushin

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.

Knife Collection (Made in Japan)

Japanese knives have been getting a lot of attention in the culinary world thanks to their beauty, sharpness, and overall construction. At Kakushin's Knife Shop, we carry a wide range of kitchen knives, the majority of which are made in Japan.

From handmade (forged) to factory-made, and even custom models, the variety found on our site will get you hooked. 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).
