I am proud to present the hybrid knife series: Japanese blade and Quebec handle created by Nikola Besnard! I strongly believe that the technique and hundreds of years of expertise that the Japanese possess in the art of forging are unrivaled! However, in Quebec we have a certain talent for cabinetmaking, as these magnificent personalized handles confirm.
The goal is to create a symbiosis between two countries and two talents, creating a truly unique and exceptional product! This series of six knives is available in only one version per type of wood.

Product notes

Please take note

Each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in shades or colors in the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic and handcrafted character.

Guarantee

Every knife carries a lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues. For example, if the handle peels or cracks after a few weeks of proper use. Or if the blade develops a crack from the edge to the spine. These issues are rare, but can occur. In such cases, you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. Since each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues applies.

After-sales service

All our products are hand-finished in Japan before shipping, and the "original sharpness" may vary.
