KORIN KNIFE SERVICES*

Chiharu Sugai

*Korin knife services will not be available in October and the middle of November 2008 due to the availability of the knife master, Chiharu Sagai. We apologize for the inconvenience.

KORIN offers a number of unique knife-related services. Our in-house sharpening master, Chiharu Sugai, regularly travels to Japan to select knives for the KORIN Collection. He also receives specialized training in sharpening and repairing both traditional and Western-style Japanese knives.

Sharpening
Are you having trouble sharpening your knives? At KORIN, we can sharpen virtually any knife: Japanese or western style (except serrated knives.) Do you need an extra-sharp edge for a special event? Send your knife to Korin for a tune-up. We will sharpen them by hand, using a variety of Japanese water stones. We can put a precision edge on any knife! Prices vary from knife to knife. Traditional knives such as yanagi, usuba, and deba, require more labor and will cost slightly more to sharpen.

*Please contact us to make a schedule.
Phone:212-587-7021 ext.224 or 232 / 1-800-626-2172

Blade Repair
If you crack or chip your blade, send it to us for repair. We use specialized mechanical water wheels imported from Japan. All knives are hand finished on water stones. Prices vary according to the type of knife and amount of repair work necessary.

Left-Handed knives
Are you left-handed? We can customize the blade edges on Western-style gyutou, sujihiki and petty knives for left-handed customers. Please inquire and we'll be happy to try and meet your needs.

Custom Engraving
Korin can engrave two initials on the metal collar (tsuba) of selected Western-style knives or on the blade? neck (right above the tsuba) of many Japanese-style knives. This is the perfect way to personalize a gift knife or protect your valuable tools! Please check the list of knives, as this is only possible with certain models.

Handle Replacement
Korin can replace old and worn handles on many traditional knives.
Please call Korin for details.
