Hi, I’m Alex — a London based sushi chef with over 12 years of experience and a lifelong passion for Japanese knives.
In August 2024, I launched ''TheJapaneseKnifeVault'' on Etsy with a mission to make high-quality Japanese knives more accessible to everyone, offering a variety of options that cater to both budget-conscious buyers and serious collectors. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned chef, we have the perfect knife for you.
We offer a carefully curated selection of new, used, and vintage knives, all imported directly from Japan. Each piece is chosen for its craftsmanship, performance, and value, ensuring that you get the best tool for your kitchen.
While we don’t manufacture the knives ourselves, we work closely with trusted suppliers and maintain high standards for everything we sell.
If you need help selecting the right knife or tips on maintaining a sharp edge, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to share advice!
