Please note that each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in the hue or color of the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic, handcrafted character.

Have professionally sharpened on a water stone every year. Store in a dry place. Wash immediately after use and dry completely before storing. Do not soak. Not dishwasher safe.

Each knife is covered by a lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects. For example, if the handle comes loose or cracks after a few weeks of proper use, or if the blade develops a crack along the cutting edge or blade spine. These issues are rare, but they can occur. In such cases, we will offer you a replacement with the same product or a refund. As every case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime guarantee against obvious manufacturing defects applies.

After-sales service

Is your knife not cutting as well as you expected? Each knife comes with what we call its "original sharpening." We have over 200 different products in stock, often with multiple copies of each. All our products are handcrafted in Japan before being shipped, and the "original sharpening" may vary. If you think your knife is not cutting to its full potential, please feel free to contact us and we will take care of it by sharpening the knife free of charge!

Oops, did an accident happen to your blade?

Did your knife fall on the floor, get damaged during a slip, or was it used to cut something too hard? We’ll take care of it and support both you and your knife by offering an in-store sharpening and repair service!

Feel free to contact us or stop by the store to get an estimate in just a few minutes!

In the event of damage caused by the carrier, please keep all items and original packaging for a possible inspection by the carrier. Items returned to Stay Sharp are at the buyer's expense. Items must be properly packaged to prevent any damage and must be fully insured. Please also provide us with the tracking number so that we can monitor the status of the shipment. Funds will not be refunded until we have received the items and confirmed that their condition is satisfactory. The refunded amount will correspond to the amount paid, less shipping and handling fees, online sales fees and any other costs incurred.
