The air grooves reduce friction and prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade. The knife is suitable as an all-round knife for meat, fish and vegetables.
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:
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

These fees are set by the Swiss authorities and are beyond our control.
We are pleased to inform you that the majority of our products are handcrafted in Denmark or elsewhere in the EU, and therefore qualify for duty-free import under the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).
This means:
Because our products are of EU origin, they are generally not subject to UK import duty. We provide all necessary documentation to ensure a smooth customs process.
We are not registered for UK VAT and therefore do not charge VAT at checkout.
Instead, UK VAT (currently 20%) will be charged upon delivery, regardless of order value.
You will be contacted by the courier (typically DHL, UPS, or similar) and asked to pay VAT before the parcel is delivered.
Please note:
This applies to all orders, regardless of total amount.
There may also be a small handling fee charged by the courier for processing UK import VAT.
When you shop from the U.S., your order is shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).
That means all import duties and tariffs are calculated and paid right at checkout—so you know the full cost upfront.
No surprise fees, no delays at customs, just smooth delivery straight to your door.
For other countries outside the EU, orders are sent as 'Delivered At Place' (DAP).
