No retailer services knives except hida and bernal. Hida owner very knowledgeable can suggest products without trying to sell the mist expensive ones. The mass market knives like shun are low quality. The blades dont hold their edge. Tokyo fish market down the street sells hinoki cutting boards ti minimize microplastic ingestion. Hida gives a veggie peeler for wveey order more than 100$. Very thin blade in peeler. Superior to the oxo beg peelers. The higher end steel with custom handles hold their edge longer. They teach tou how to use the 3 stine sharpening technique they use. No other retailer comes close to quality and affordability. Knife sharpening very reasonable. Great owner

Coworker suggested I come here for gardening shears. Very nice place with an extensive collection of Japanese tools, and very friendly, helpful workers!

Repeat female customer here. I manage a no-spray, organic veggie/flower farm and rely on Hida's carbon steel (CS) tools for quality, edge retention, and beauty; I am ALWAYS impressed. I have multiple Hida CS shears and pruners and so long as they’re wiped clean after use, they do appear to resist rust. Well-made and long-lasting, the Chikamasa T-600 shears are my latest addition. Thank you Hida Tool!

Made a last minute order, not expecting to receive my carving tools before a trip abroad. Lucky for me, my order was processed overnight and my package reached me in time to use it on my trip. Super professional, will definitely order more tools in the future.

Great store! Like an old-fashioned hardware store for Japanese tools, knives and gardening equipment. I needed woodblock printing tools and they had just what I was looking for. Highly recommended.

This shop is a real gem! Love poking around and looking at all the cool knives. They do great sharpening too -- I took some high-end Japanese knives here and they came back razor sharp with immaculate bezels. One knife -- a very thin, brittle steel -- had the tip broken clean off, and they repaired it flawlessly, looks brand new.
