Temporarily Out of Stock & Future Order Notice

Current Status: Hirata-san currently has a large backlog of orders. Additionally, during the summer months, the extreme heat makes it difficult to maintain the forging process, which naturally limits production. We will update this page as soon as he is ready to accept new orders.

Important Notice on Pricing: Please note that Hirata-san's knives tend to increase in price over time. We cannot guarantee that the price will remain the same when orders resume. Please keep this in mind for your future purchase.
