Japanese knives are so much fun to cook with! From personal experience, this writer can attest to the difference between using any production knife and a handmade, high-quality Japanese knife. Besides the perfect balance, feel and sharpness, it is quite simply fun to use a knife that is so beautiful and comfortable to hold and work with.

Gregg recently made a custom order knife stand. It would hold up to 9 knives if using both sides of the double sided magnetic cross beam. To illustrate the stand to our customer, I took a photo with a few of my own knives hanging on it. Most of these knives get used on a daily basis and have done so for several years. And I love every one of them!
