Carbon Fiber Collection
One steel, three shapes
Every knife in the collection is the same build: a hard cutting core under layers of stainless Damascus, an octagonal carbon-fibre handle with brass rings, ground to about 15° a side. The only decision left is the shape.
Kiritsuke 8″
The chef's knife. A long, flat edge for push cuts and an angled tip that goes exactly where you point it.
Nakiri 7″
The vegetable knife. A straight edge that meets the board along its whole length — no rocking, no half-cut leaves.
Utility 6″
The everyday knife. Short enough for a small board and a quick job, sharp enough that it gets reached for first.
Two or three of them together cost less than separately. See the sets →
Made in Seto, Japan
Ceramics
Stoneware that shows the hand that made it.
Mugs from a Seto workshop, each thrown and glazed by hand. The glazes run, pool and speckle differently on every piece — the reason to buy one is that no other is quite the same.
- Thrown and glazed by hand — no two alike
- Dishwasher safe — hand washing keeps the glaze brighter
- A free mug with every EU order over 139 €

Featured products
Sets & bundles
Shapes that cover different jobs, bought together. Each card lists exactly what is in the box.
A knife as a gift
Every order arrives in a wooden box, ready to hand over. Three things turn it into something made for one person.
Wooden saya
A magnetic maple sheath, so the knife lives on a shelf rather than in a drawer.
Wooden box
Packed so the edge cannot move, and presentation-ready as it comes.

Sharpening and care, steel by steel
Grits, angles, the burr nobody explains — and patina versus rust.

End-grain cutting — the secret to boards that last
Why the direction the wood was cut decides your knife's sharpness.
