Japanese Knife Imports The coolest place for japanese kitchen knives and sharpening stones in LA... also, part time chef hang out spot ;)
(215)

Japanese Knife Imports is focused on importing high quality japanese kitchen cutlery and related accessories, including sharpening stones, knife storage bags, kitchen tools, and other items. We also offer sharpening and repair services, and knife sharpening classes for Japanese kitchen knives. We specialize in helping match people with the knives and stones that are a good fit for them. In addition to kitchen knives and related items, we carry other Japanese artistic works, including traditional Japanese pottery (Shino, Oribe, Kiseto, Setoguro, etc.), many of which have been made using an Anagama kiln (traditional wood burning kiln).

The Hotaru SG2 series is back in stock. Simple finish, great edge retention, and crazy thin... like, crazy thin. They come with a rounded spine and choil, so they’re comfortable for home cooks and pros alike.

They’re live on the site now. Link in bio.

The Gonbei Hammered Damascus series is back in stock: petty, nakiri, santoku, both gyutos, and the sujihiki. Stainless, durable, and excellent food release. A nice pick if you’re new to Japanese knives, or if you need a workhorse for a pro kitchen.
