With a definitive collection of Japanese blades - over 250 different styles to chose from - expert advice on selecting the most suitable blade; an in house sharpening service; lessons on cutting techniques and sharpening; an unparalleled range of sharpening systems, this is an absolute must for any one seeking the best.

As in a traditional Hamonoya, there is also a comprehensive selection of the finest hand made penknives and hobby knives, and other wonderful gift ideas.

We will be holding Sushi making lessons as well as workshops on traditional Japanese food preparation and techniques. The very popular demonstrations on sharpening and maintenance that JKC conducts at various stockists throughout the country can be arranged for individuals or in groups.
