Né en 1983, M. Yoshihiro Yauji a développé un intérêt pour le bricolage dès son enfance et il est progressivement tombé amoureux des outils en acier. Il a trouvé un lien très spécial avec les couteaux car les couteaux, selon ses propres mots, « représentent le point de départ de l’humanité ». À partir de l’âge de pierre, les êtres humains ont commencé à utiliser des couteaux pour couper des arbres et ont finalement conduit au développement de la civilisation. En 2003, Yoshihiro devient l’apprenti de Maître Hideo Kitaoka, considéré comme l’un des meilleurs artisans du Japon. Après plus de 15 ans de formation, Yoshihiro a finalement commencé à fabriquer des couteaux de manière indépendante en 2019. Il convient de noter qu’il forge, affûte, termine et affûte tout seul.
Tips for best results
Make sure your knife will deliver its absolute best by having it professionally sharpened at least once a year. Please note that our meticulously handcrafted Japanese knives are – unless otherwise noted – carbon steel and not stainless steel. To prevent rust, make sure the blades are patted dry – especially when cutting acidic items. Never cut frozen foods, hard products, bone, or twist the blade when using. Never soak in water after use or put in the dishwasher. After use, store in a cool, dry place and avoid high temperature fluctuations.
Our commitment to you – our customers
Warranty
Every knife we carry has a lifetime warranty from manufacturing defects and errors. For example, if the handle becomes detached or cracks appear after a few weeks of proper use. Or if there are any blade cracks from the edge to the spine. While such defects are indeed rare, they can occur. In such cases, we will exchange the knife in question or give you a refund. Each warranty case is different depending on the criteria, and we reserve the right in each and every case to evaluate the applicability of our lifetime warranty in the event of any manufacturing defects and errors.
After-Sales service
Do you get the feeling that your knife just can’t “cut it”?
Each knife we carry is supplied with a so-called “factory edge”. Our chef knife range comprises more than 200 different products. While all our handcrafted Japanese knives ship with a “factory edge”, ultimate blade sharpness can vary. If you feel that your knife’s blade edge is not performing to its full potential, feel free to contact us and we will provide you with professional sharpening for free!
Oops! What about the truly Unthinkable?
Was it just through a slight slip of the hand that your knife accidentally fell on the floor and damaged its tip and blade, or it was used to cut a hard, frozen product and chipped? Don’t despair, get in touch with us and we will solve the problem through our in-house, professional sharpening and repair service.
