Care Instructions

1. Conscientious Cleaning: After each use, it's important to wash your knives by hand with water and mild dish detergent. Dry them carefully afterward to prevent potential damage and staining.

2. The right cutting surface: To prolong the life of your knives, it is recommended to use wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Avoid glass or metal pads as they can wear down the blades faster.

3. Proper cutting technique: Be sure to wield the knife safely and efficiently to avoid accidents and keep the blade sharp longer. Hold the knife so that it rests optimally on the cutting surface and avoid abrupt, sideways bending.

4. Careful storage: Store your knives in such a way that they cannot be damaged and do not pose a danger. Use a knife block, special magnetic strips, or a drawer with suitable compartments.

5. Regular sharpening and oiling: To maintain the cutting performance of your knives, you should sharpen them continuously. Use suitable sharpening stones or knife sharpeners for this purpose. Occasional treatment with food-grade oil also protects against moisture and rust.

Why Our Knives Are Razor Sharp

1. Inspection

One of our experienced bladesmiths carefully inspects the knife to ensure it meets our high standards.

Why the closing sale?

After a lifetime at the fire, I’m hanging up my hammer.

To say thank you, my remaining Damascus knives are up to 70% off.

When these are gone, the forge goes quiet—no restock.

Arigatō for keeping the flames alive all these years.

— Shigeo Tanaka (田中 重雄)

Frequently asked questions

Why should I choose your knives over other brands?

Our knives are crafted with exceptional attention to detail using premium steel. They’re trusted by professional chefs and praised by home cooks for their comfort, control, and lasting sharpness.

Are your knives sharp out of the box?

Yes, every knife is hand-sharpened to a razor edge and tested before shipping so it’s ready to go straight from the box.

Are your knives suitable for professionals?

Definitely. Our knives are designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional chefs while remaining accessible to home cooks.

How should I care for my knife to keep it in top condition?

Hand-wash with warm, soapy water and dry immediately. Store safely and hone regularly for peak performance.

Can I put your knives in the dishwasher?

We recommend hand-washing only. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times vary by destination but typically range from 5–10 business days. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.

What is your return policy?

We offer a hassle-free 30 day return policy for unused knives in original condition. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Simply contact our support team with your order details at info@oakdorn.com. We’ll guide you through every step of the return process.

Why is VG-10 steel good for knives?

VG-10 is a high-quality Japanese steel known for staying sharp, resisting rust, and lasting a long time. It gives you pro-level performance with minimal maintenance.

Will a VG-10 knife last me a long time?

Definitely. With proper care, a VG-10 knife can stay sharp and reliable for years — it’s a long-term investment in your cooking.

Why choose a Kiritsuke (切付包丁) knife?

"Kiritsuke" (切付包丁) translates to "slit-tip knife."

This knife blends the slicing power of a Yanagiba with the versatility of a chef’s knife. Its flat edge and angled tip allow for precise push cuts and elegant slicing. Traditionally reserved for head chefs in Japan, it’s a blade that combines performance and prestige.
