Forgeron Jiro
Jiro-san est un forgeron et un fabricant de couteaux de la région de Nagano. Il fabrique ces couteaux de A à Z seul, ce qui signifie que chaque partie du couteau a été fabriquée à la main par Jiro-san du début à la fin. Pour ceux qui ne réalise pas l’ampleur de son travail, la quantité de lame qui peuvent être produit par un fabricant industriel Japonais de bonne qualité peu atteindre 10000 par année. Tant qu’à lui Jiro à une capacité maximale d’une vingtaine de couteaux par mois ! C’est Pour cette raison que le nombre de couteaux présent sur le marché est limité.
Il est forgeron depuis 20 ans, mais personne n’a remarqué à quel point son travail était incroyable. Lorsqu’il a été découvert par Hokuto Aizawa (président de Hitohira), c’était surprenant que personne ne l’est trouvé encore.
Chaque couteau est livré avec du papier écrit à la main, notant le numéro de série, le profil, le type d’acier, le type de poignée, la taille et la date de fabrication.
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.
