Wasabi-Hobel, 230 mm

Genuine Japanese kitchen knives are made from various types of hard, high-quality steel and represent the finest in Japanese knife craftsmanship. 

To maintain the sharpness of the knife and ensure a long service life, it is important to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Never wash the knives in a dishwasher. Instead, clean the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it thoroughly immediately – never let it air dry.
• The knives must not be used for hard items such as frozen foods, bones, cartilage, cartilage or hard cheeses.
• Only use the knives on wooden or plastic cutting boards. Avoid cutting surfaces made of glass, stone or metal.
• Store the knife on a magnetic knife holder or in a knife sheath. Avoid loose drawers where the blade can be damaged.
• Sharpen the knife regularly with a wet whetstone or have it sharpened professionally.
• Avoid using knife sharpeners with steel or ceramic wheels as they can damage the hard steel.
• Keep the blade dry and clean – for longer storage, a thin layer of oil (e.g. camellia oil) can protect the steel from rust.

Japanese knives are made of thin, hard steel , which gives them extreme sharpness. However, this hardness makes them more vulnerable to chipping (small nicks in the edge) if used incorrectly. This is not a defect – but a characteristic of the fine material.

Real Products, Honest Pictures

For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are the focus. Our product images should give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you get – without unnecessary staging.

The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by ourselves – whether it is a grinder, a knife holder, a serving board or one of our exclusive textiles.

The images of our wooden products always show real products that we have handmade for a customer and photographed before they were delivered.

We also occasionally receive photos from satisfied customers who kindly allow us to use them in the webshop. These photos provide an honest and inspiring insight into how our products look in real homes and environments.

A Guide to Variants

We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a multitude of sizes and variations, we do not yet have photos of every single one. The image displayed when you make your selection primarily illustrates the chosen type of wood – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.

Every Piece of Wood is Unique

Wood is a living, natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain and play of colours will therefore naturally vary from one product to the next. Please consider our photos as a source of inspiration and an indication of the high quality we deliver.

Any questions? We're happy to help.

Do you have questions about a design, size, type of wood, or do you have special requests? Please don't hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk, and we will guide you to the right choice before you order.

We ship all items in the webshop from Denmark. Below you can see what this means for you.
