Join us on Saturday, June 13 as we kick off A Real Sharp Summer with an exclusive Kikuichi Trunk Show at In The Kitchen. If you’ve ever wanted to understand what truly sets a Japanese knife apart, this is your chance to learn directly from the source.
We’re welcoming Harry, our Kikuichi representative, who will be in-store with:
✨ Specialty and limited pieces not normally available on our shelves
🔍 In-depth knowledge about blade construction, steel types, and care
🏯 The 700+ year history behind one of Japan’s most respected knife makers
🐟 And yes… a MASSIVE tuna sword for some fun photo ops
Why Kikuichi?
Hand-forged in Nara, Japan for over 750 years, Kikuichi knives are celebrated for exceptional edge retention, precision, and balance. At this event, you’ll learn the key differences between carbon and stainless steel, how Japanese grinds compare to German styles, how blade geometry impacts performance, and what truly makes a knife worth the investment
Whether you're a culinary professional, a serious home cook, or just starting to upgrade your kitchen tools, this event is designed to be approachable, educational, and seriously impressive.
This isn’t just a trunk show, it’s a chance to deepen your knife knowledge, ask questions, compare styles, and find the blade that feels like it was made for you.
Stay tuned for more weekends in our "Real Sharp Summer Series", but trust us… you don’t want to miss this sharp start to summer. 🔪
