Japanese Knives — Curated in Australia
Hand-forged blades from the workshops of Kyushu, Tosa and Seki — chosen one by one by a Fukuoka-born founder, and sold face to face at markets across the Illawarra.
Where to Find Us
Right now, Oni-Giri Blade sells in person — at markets around Wollongong and the Illawarra. Every knife is numbered, every purchase includes a free first sharpening, and you can test the edge before you buy.
Follow @oniblade on Instagram for the next market date.
Meet the Maker
We bring you the smiths behind the steel. Our first feature: Daisuke Nishida of Nishida Hamono Kōbō in Kumamoto, Kyushu — one of the few smiths still forging by hon-warikomi, doing every step of every blade by his own hand.
