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. 🙂
Love the artistic swirls and colours , and of course the history of the Japanese knife manufacturer.
I love your recipes very much. Thank you so much for your efforts. It’s a winner. Everybody loves them. I am going to cook your ham and lemon cheesecake at Xmas. Love to have knife please. Have a lovely Christmas and new year! All the best!!
I would be so excited to win a knife that could cut more than butter for me 🤭
I do not have Dozer but same breed and mannerisms but female obsessed with cheese.
I forgot to put my address. I live at Tumbi Umbi on the beautiful NSW Central Coast
Love the knife, perfect for cutting vegetables – wow what an edge
Thank you for giving me the confidence and inspiration to try new recipes and enjoy cooking. Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Just love following your story and so happy to see your well deserved rewards.
Cooking and dogs 🐕 are the best past times a person can have.
You’ve managed to marry the two. Congratulations Nagi and Doser. Well done.
Went to Japan once, a long way from the UK, so just the once. Went knife browsing, but regretably at that stage of my life could not afford it. How I wish I had gone the extra mile. All my lives just don’t seem up to it anymore. Would just love a clean sharp bladed knife to last the rest of my days.
Your recipes is the only food my whole fussy family will eat. You’ve saved me lots of time and money.
I would love to own this great knife
A knife sharp enough to help me prep my meals with ease would be a blessing
I want this knife 🙏 Adelaide, South Australia
Hi Nagi. I love you. You gave the most delicious recipes. I bought a book for myself and mu sister.
The knife looks amazing and I would love to win it. Thanks for the opportunity.
Love the book! Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
My cooking skills and repertoire has reached a new peak since using your recipes. Thankyou.
I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I really want this knife and cookbook.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Where I’m patiently awaiting my pre-ordered recipe book. Sometimes the days go by so fast but other times they go so slow. What I need is a Dozer to speed them up, he’s so handsome and looks like my daughters golden Tucker, who sadly passed away earlier this year. He’s sorely missed.
Love all of you cooking vids. I love a sharp knife makes life so much easier when preparing meals.
My son has a very similar Japanese knife and it’s a dream to use…..I have serious knife envy!
