Kitchen Accessories

The right accessories are what keep a good Japanese knife performing, protected and a pleasure to use. A keen blade needs a surface that will not dull it, a way to keep its edge true, and safe storage between jobs, and the difference those things make to a thin, hard Japanese edge is real rather than cosmetic. Because we specialise in Japanese knives, everything here is chosen to suit them.

Below you will find our full range of accessories, grouped into collections. Whether you are looking to sharpen and maintain your knives, protect their edges, store them safely or equip the rest of your kitchen, each collection brings together the right tools for the job.

Types of accessories

Whetstones & Sharpeners. The heart of keeping a Japanese knife sharp. Our whetstone range covers every grit from coarse repair stones to fine finishing stones, alongside honing steels and complete sharpening systems. Learning to use a stone is the single most worthwhile skill for getting the best from your knives over their lifetime.

Sharpening Accessories. The kit that supports the sharpening process: clip-on guides to hold a consistent angle, flattening stones to keep your whetstones true, leather strops for a final polished finish, and complete knife care kits. Everything here helps you sharpen better, rather than sharpening the knife itself.

Knife Blocks & Storage. Proper storage protects an edge that a drawer would quickly ruin. This collection covers slotted blocks, magnetic blocks, wall-mounted magnetic holders and knife bags.

Cutting Boards. The surface you cut on matters as much for edge life as the knife. We stock traditional Japanese hinoki boards, prized for being naturally kind to a blade, alongside oak, walnut, end-grain and flexible mats, all chosen to protect a fine edge.

Kitchen Scissors. Made by Japanese knife-makers with the same care for steel and sharpness as their blades, our kitchen scissors run from precise herb snips to heavy-duty, take-apart shears for poultry and tougher tasks.

Blade Guards. Simple, essential protection for a fine edge, slipping over the blade to guard both the knife and your fingers in a drawer or bag.
