Check out our page to sharpen your interests in the traditionnally handcrafted Japanese knives! Investing in a handmade Japanese knife rather than an industrial knife offers many advantages. First and foremost, acquiring a hand-forged knife is like holding a masterpiece in the palm of your hand because of its unique and authentic look. Moreover, a handmade knife also means enjoying a blade with increased hardness, and therefore a highly durable and razor-sharp edge that goes with it. Selecting a traditional Japanese knife also ensures that the raw materials used to craft this incredible piece of cutlery are rare and of exceptional quality. Indeed, the Wusaki handcrafted knives are made of noble and sought-after woods such as the honoki (magnolia), walnut wood and morado wood. Lastly, as the Japanese tradition demands, the artisan has to sign its finished artwork in kanji characters which adds even more charm to the knife.

Wusaki proposes a wide selection of Japanese handmade knives ranging from the classic blade shapes like the Santoku to the more original ones such as the Kiritsuke or the Bunka.
