Hello guys,
I am in Osaka for the next week and looking to do some knife shopping. I’d really like to buy a carbon deba and set of sharpening stones in Sakai and possible one or two other interesting pieces.
I understand that many of the workshops are not on google maps or represented at the major outlets and I’m really interested to spend a day stopping bye smaller shops/ workshops in a hunt for some nice knives. The adventure is half the fun.
Would anybody mind sharing with me if they have found/ know if any special workshops or shops that I would want to check out, especially ones that might not come up in a google search? If anybody has any information they would like to share with me I would be really appreciative.
Also I have been sharpening my knives on a 1000/6000 dual king stone which I’m looking to upgrade to a set of larger stones. Is there anything I should be looking Out for that I can get cheaper here or will prices be the same as online? If anybody knows of a workshop here that will do knife sharpening lessons or let me watch the knife making process I would also love to hear about it.
Thanks for any help and apologies if there is already a thread on this I was unable to find it.
