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

Ryuhyo Kurozome Series

Ryuhyo Kurozome Series

Designed for people who want high-end performance without stepping into the ultra-premium price range, the Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo series combines R2/SG2 powder stainless steel with refined geometry, impressive edge retention, and a striking Damascus finish.

The R2/SG2 core is hardened to around 63 HRC, giving the series excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention while remaining far easier to live with than a traditional carbon steel blade. The thin grind and well-balanced profiles give the Ryuhyo an effortless cutting feel, while the layered Damascus and Kurozome finish give each knife a darker, more distinctive look.

Why is it our Pick of the Week? Because the Ryuhyo hits a really nice sweet spot: premium SG2 steel, excellent geometry, beautiful finishing, and performance that feels considerably more expensive than the price tag. It’s the kind of series that looks impressive on the counter but, more importantly, is made to be used.
