Build a Japanese knife range around your customers, price points and kitchen tasks. Talk to H&K Trading about sourcing for specialist retailers, distributors and professional kitchens.
A clear brief makes a better shortlist
Retail collections
Share your target retail price, customer profile and preferred blade styles. We can review your enquiry against available supplier options.
Professional kitchens
Tell us what the knife will cut, the preferred blade length and how it will be maintained. Include right- or left-handed use where relevant.
Specialist ranges
For a named maker, steel or finish, send the exact reference. Production schedules and repeat-order availability need individual confirmation.
Maker spotlight: Mazaki Knives
Our existing export range introduces Mazaki Knives, made by Naoki Mazaki in Sanjo, Niigata. Enquiries for this maker should include the requested model and quantity so that current supply can be checked.
Selection is subject to confirmation. Listing a maker does not mean that every model is in stock or available for immediate shipment.
Mazaki Knives
Forged by Hand, Perfected by Tradition
Based in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, Naoki Mazaki is a master knife craftsman known for hand-forged Japanese knives. Originally from Hokkaido, he discovered his passion for forging knives during a motorcycle journey across Japan and trained under renowned masters before establishing his own workshop. Each knife is crafted by hand using premium steels, combining sharpness, durability, and beauty. His work is highly sought after internationally and prized for its rarity and performance.
