Messenset

The majority of Japanese kitchen knives you find on the market are not made in Japan, but mass-produced in other parts of the world.

The demand for the best handmade knives has increased globally, and to meet the demand, the market has been flooded with kitchen knives of widely varying quality.

Having the opportunity to trade with genuine handmade knives from the finest Japanese knifemakers requires strong personal relationships with the most skilled blacksmiths and knifemakers.

Our range has therefore been built over time through close collaborations with the most renowned Japanese knife manufacturers.

Our close partner and supplier of knives has built valuable connections to small and large manufacturers through trips to Japan, giving us access to unique knives that are rarely found elsewhere.

The selection ranges from the large Japanese manufacturers that compete with the well-known European brands, to small family-run forges where quality and classic craftsmanship are in an absolutely exceptional class.
