FAQs

FAQs

Questions commonly asked by our customers.

Can I get my knife engraved?

You can have your name engraved on the knife you purchased. Names can be engraved in either kanji or katakana. Some knives which are made of one piece of hard steel  cannot be engraved.

Can I have my package delivered to a designated delivery locker?

To prevent your package from being lost or stolen, we are unable to accommodate contactless delivery nor do we ship to a P.O. Box.

For domestic shipping, some housing units can have a package be delivered to a personal home delivery box or to a front desk attendant. For these options, please let us know in the memo field when ordering so we can find out if this option is available for you.

Do you accept resharpening by mail?

Yes, however, shipping fees will be the responsibility of the customer. For more information, please check the [Sharpening Service] page.

How long does it take to engrave a knife?

For 500 yen per knife, you can have your name engraved in Japanese kanji or katakana for in-person purchases. After you purchase the product and confirm the draft of your name, the engraving will be completed in approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Please note that the engraving is done by hand, so if there are a large number of characters or lines, it may take longer.

When should I make the payment?

In the case of mail order, we will contact you by email or phone after making your selection at the time of ordering.
