We import and professionally refurbish original Japanese knives that we find in Osaka markets. These are often forgotten pieces with history – hand-forged knives from traditional workshops, created by master blacksmiths.
Each knife undergoes a process of careful restoration, so that it regains its functional properties while retaining its unique character. It’s a completely different quality from modern mass production – steel with exceptional durability, precision and a perceptible “hand of the craftsman.”
When you choose Essensu, you get a unique knife from a Japanese family workshop, made under the hammer of a blacksmith – the only one of its kind in the world.
