Tetsujin Knives

Tetsujin knives are the creation of the young talented Myojin and Tamura. The Kochi based, yet Sakai trained sharpener is producing some enviable blades with all the details you would expect from high end Japanese knives. The spine and chin is highly polished and the overall geometry is designed to slip though foods. Stunning knives with some added niceties that we could tell you about but we don’t want to spoil the surprise. Beautifully forged by Tamura san.

We don't list our full range of Tetsujin knives online so visit us in store as we feel their beauty should really be experienced in person.

Kagekiyo Knives

The Kagekiyo brand is 60 years young compared to the founding of the original business a hundred years ago back in 1916. Run by third generation Baba Shuzou along with his son Takashi Kagekiyo knives are produced with the professional chef in mind - sharpness, easy resharpening, durability, comfort and beautifully finished knives.

Traditional Craftsmanship, Modern Technology, Commitment to Monozukuri

Kagekiyo is constantly evolving, using modern technology to study the molecular structure of steel via electron microscopes, all in an effort to create the most advanced Japanese knives, hammer forged and sharpened by hand.

The Baba family has a long history in Sakai. In 1964 the founder Baba Ichiji received a medal from the Emperor - the Order of the Rising Sun, for his contribution to the manufacturing industry in the Kansai region. He was the first person ever to receive such an honour within the Sakai knife industry.

Chef's Armoury are proud to be the exclusive agent for Kagekiyo knives in Australia.

Care Instructions

Knife care for 100% carbon steel knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • This knife is 100% carbon steel, due to the nature of carbon steel this knife will tarnish and form a patina. This is to be expected and is nothing to worry about. The patina also helps protect against rust.
  • Do not leave wet on the bench or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
  • We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
