If you have any questions about an item before your purchase, please email us at: sugicutlery@gmail.com.

We are always happy to help with your questions! 

Please note:

Japanese knives and Sugi custom handles are hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind items and often have slight size variations, colorations, and other aesthetic qualities that are part of their individual appeal. These unique qualities are not considered defects.

Hand-forged Japanese knives are thinner, easier to sharpen, and have greater edge retention than other manufactured knives, and as such require intentional handling. 

Please treat Japanese knives well and do not use them on bones, frozen foods, hard foods, cheeses, or any other hard materials, and do not force or twist a knife into a food, as these actions could damage the knife.

Always hand wash Japanese knives, and *never, ever* put them in the dishwasher. Ever.
