I have just received my two pairs of scissors back from sharpening. My Blue paper steel pair are so clean and shiny that I mistook them for my white paper stainless steel pair. Your attention to detail and service are second to none. Thank you so much for your help.Peter.Peter Newlands.The Tailor at Townend.

A professional Japanese kitchen knife store in Central London. It has every kind of knives for difference purposes, Deba, Santoku, slicing, just to name a few. The Japanese staffs are warm and friendly, and willing to show what you are looking for.

Amazing store with a huge selection of knives and services. Had one of my knives sharpened by them and it's fantastic, incredibly sharp and clear a lot of care and attention was given. Customer service also on point, could not recommend more to come her.

Used by professional chefs at restaurants such as Fallow in London for their knife sharpening, so you can't go wrong with this place! Obviously the knives they sell here aren't cheap but you are talking absolute top end, high quality professional knives.

If you want to get your knives sharpened and repaired brilliantly well, this is the place to go. Having used other shops that offer a similar service, I can honestly say the customer service and attention to detail here is unmatched. The only downside is they are so good at what they do, often you have to wait a short while for your knives to be ready (as they are so busy). I cannot recommend them highly enough!

An incredible experience. I've bought two knives from Kataba now and I get so much joy every time I use them to cook. The whole experience in the shop is top tier from the moment you walk in, along the whole back wall is just a waist to ceiling wall of knives and the owner whose name I forget has taken great time both times I have bought a knife to take me through the options and offer his honest thoughts. You get the first sharpening free and they hone the knife specifically to which hand you use to chop with!

I have used kataba for their knife sharpening service in store as well as by mail and I would never go anywhere else again. A fantastic service from beginning to end and unrivalled craft and care in their knife sharpening and conditioning. Highly recommended.

Had my first visit to the Knife Shed today!Wow!The shop is fantastic.The knifes are absolute works of art!Yotichi is a master. Full of knowledge! Very patient to spend time exploring and explaining the blades and the workmanship behind them.Cannot wait to return for another blade and a sharpening course in the next few months.
