Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • This is a Japanese knife sharpening and handle-attaching experience. For those unfamiliar with sharpening techniques or interested in the sharpness of Japanese knives, we will teach you simple yet accurate sharpening techniques. In addition to sharpening, you will also attach a handle at the end, allowing you to take home a unique, sharp knife. We hope you will not only learn about the appeal of traditional Japanese knives, but also experience it for yourself through this experience. ~Experience Schedule~ 10:00 Notes and Explanation: We will explain the precautions to take before the experience and the history of Japanese knives. 10:30 Sharpening Experience: You will experience sharpening. First, you will use a practice knife, and then you will sharpen a knife you purchased. 11:10 Handle Attachment Experience: Attach a handle to the sharpened knife. The core is heated, the handle is inserted into it, and then hammered with a wooden mallet to attach the handle. 11:40 Packaging: The knife with the handle attached is packaged and handed over to the customer.
  • Sharpening becomes easy!
  • Located in Sakai, the famous knife town, a craftsman who learned sharpening and handle-attaching at a knife shop with over 150 years of history will teach you carefully and clearly, so anyone can easily sharpen their knives!
  • Give away a one-of-a-kind knife!
  • If you wish, we can engrave your name or favorite words on the knife, so you can take home a one-of-a-kind knife.
