    1. Forged in the Legacy of Sakai

    From Sakai City—Japan’s renowned birthplace of professional kitchen knives—each blade is crafted by master artisans with over six centuries of tradition. Perfectly balanced, enduringly sharp, and exquisitely finished, every cut carries the soul of true craftsmanship.

  • 2. Thoughtful Care for Everyday Use

    Every knife includes a hand-fitted magnolia saya for safe storage. Upon request, we offer a complimentary Honbazuke final hand sharpening—giving you a precise, ready-to-use edge from day one.

  • 3. A Partnership for a Lifetime

    A KIREAJI knife is more than a tool—it is a lifelong companion. With our bespoke paid aftercare services, we preserve its edge and beauty, ensuring it remains as precise and dependable as the day it first met your hand.

Why Many Product Photos Show Only the Blade

At KIREAJI, every knife is made to order in Sakai, Japan. Photos show the blade before the handle is attached, allowing artisans to perfect the balance and edge for your specific order. Your knife arrives fully finished — tailored just for you.

  • Precautions

    1. If you wish to request Honbazuke, please select "Yes" when ordering. (Free of charge)
      At KIREAJI, we provide the "Honbazuke" service free of charge upon request. Please note that this is a practical initial sharpening. As the knives are shipped internationally, the blade must be protected during transit. You can make the final adjustments yourself to suit your preferences.
    2. Each piece is handmade and therefore unique. Please consider the weight and length as approximate.
    3. As buffalo horn is a natural material, color variations may occur, and the actual product may differ slightly from the photo.
    4. We carefully manage our inventory, but in the rare case an item is out of stock, we will notify you by email.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.  (Estimated reply time: within 10 hours)
