A shop of knives with some character to them: custom blades of its own and Japanese-style knives, and, on the same shelves, knife cases and whetstones, so that carrying a blade home and keeping it sharp are settled in one visit.
It is open 9:30–18:00 and closes only over the Year-end and New Year holidays.
