About pattern exchange
Prices for re-patterning vary depending on the type and size of the knife. The handle of the Japanese knife can be exchanged on the spot.
If the core is badly damaged, such as rusting, it will take days and additional labor to repair.
Normally, we will attach a handle that matches the blade of the knife, but it is possible to change it to another type of handle upon request.
It takes about a month to replace the handles of Western knives because it is sent to a specialized craftsman.
We recommend that you replace the handle of the knife before the damage becomes severe.
If you continue to use a knife with a handle that has become thin due to use or has cracked due to corrosion, water will easily enter the core, and if you continue to use it as it is, the core will become brittle and break during use. Fear emerges.

A small chip is ground, and the cutting edge is thinned while judging the thickness of the knife and the properties of the steel material. As a result, it will cut into the ingredients well as before and it becomes easier to sharpen the knife by yourself. In the case of ordering repairs by mail, it takes about a week to finish repairing.

Considering the balance of the entire knife, the chip is ground to remove and repaired to an easy-to-use shape. Please note that the cutting edge becomes narrower after repairing.
