Ces magnifiques couteaux sont fabriqués par le maître forgeron Kamo-san du village de Takefu au Japon. Il est rare de trouver des forgerons qui excellent à la fois dans le meulage et le forgeage, mais Kamo-san en fait partie. Il travaille avec une très petite équipe de seulement deux autres ouvriers. Alors que de nombreux ateliers confient leurs lames à divers ouvriers pour les différentes étapes de fabrication, Kamo-san garde ces opérations en interne et sous sa supervision personnelle.
Shiro Kamo, né en 1958, est l’actuel président de la Takefu Knife Village Association. Kamo a été honoré pour ses compétences avec le titre Dento-Kogei-shi, signifiant Maître de l’artisanat traditionnel. Ce célèbre titre japonais est décerné à quelques artisans sélectionnés qui ont apporté une contribution significative à leur métier dans une région particulière. Kamo est un forgeron de deuxième génération avec une profonde passion pour son métier et enseigne la forge japonaise en Europe.
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.
