Hitohira is our brand new supplier that has been absolutely killing it. The president, Mr. Hokuto Aizawa, has traveled the world in his mid-20s and saw firsthand how Japanese kitchen knives are adored throughout the northern hemisphere and decided to make the products even more accessible. Now, Hitohira brings many new and old favourites back into our shelves with consistency, making our clients ever happier. 

For Hitohira all lines, there are abbreviations and pseudonyms to organize and identify the products. If you have any questions about the individual craftsman involved, send us an email, and we can do our best to clarify within our limits. 

Imojiya line is a budget-friendly western-handled series. This set boasts a hammered finish ('tsuchime' in Japanese), providing beautiful texture and food release. 

This set is made up of the two most useful knives in our opinion; a Gyuto and a utility knife. A Gyuto is an all-purpose blade that is incredibly useful for any cooks and a petty (utility) knife can be used to cut small fruits, vegetables, and even some smaller cuts of meats. (any many many more things, like cutting through plastic wrapping from a grocery trip!) 

This Hitohira set is an amazing Christmas gift that will bring joy to the recipient for years to come.
