Handcrafted Japanese Knife Giveaway!
{Update: Giveaway has closed, the winner is Monica O’Sullivan!}
The last time we asked my mother to bring a kitchenware item back from Japan, it was “just” a Yakitori charcoal grilling station. “It’s only 10 kg (20 lb)!” my sister cajoled. “C’mon mum!”
We were only joking. Though perhaps not excessively heavy, it’s about 1 m / 3 feet long and given she was also manhandling her ski gear, we didn’t actually think she would lug one back for us.
But she did. Boy was she peeved when my sister, brother and I burst into peals of laughter when we saw that she actually brought one back for us! (In our defence, we have made a great effort to have regular Yakitori gatherings since then, during which we always relive the story, sniggering mightily as we do so).
This time, my Japanese kitchenware item request was a little smaller. Though still a bit disgruntled (“You were just here! Why didn’t you get it yourself!!!”, my mother messaged grumpily), bringing back a Japanese hand crafted knife to give away for my readers was a much easier task! 😂
I had hoped to incorporate this giveaway into a relevant recipe – think chopped salad or the like – but patience has never been my biggest virtue and thus it shall reside in a totally irrelevant recipe, one that doesn’t even use a knife at all.
A great knife is your greatest asset in the kitchen. A sharper knife does not mean greater risk of cutting yourself, it means less risk because you don’t need to worry about slippage. If I had $500 to spend on a kitchen item, it would be on one great knife. And that’s what I’m giving away today – a beautiful, Japanese, handcrafted knife and a stone sharpener from my favourite knife shop in Tokyo. Scroll down to enter! {Update: Giveaway has closed, the winner is Monica O’Sullivan!} And here’s a little preview of how sharp the knife is. 🙂
