Japanese Knives Australia

SAITO KNIVES is an Australian importer of quality handcrafted Japanese knives, sharpening stones and cooking tools including:

SAITO KNIVES was established in 2007 in Lennox Head, Northern NSW as KITCHEN SAITO and from 2013, started under new name SAITO KNIVES.

At SAITO KNIVES, each knife sold is hand sharpened before being despatched. Knives brought to Masaaki for repairing too are carefully hand sharpened to the finest state they ever get and that's what makes SAITO KNIVES unique.


Proprietor Masaaki Saito is a Japanese knife specialist with 25 years of experience handling all types of specialty Japanese knives. Masaaki was a Tokyo trained sushi chef and worked in Japan's top class sushi restaurants for many years. Masaaki has used all types of Japanese Knives through his work and hobby and has gained knowledge of how to handle and care for them.

Saito Knives now distribute their exceptional range of Chef Knives to destinations all over Australia.

Our belief is that knives are tools and not art collections on the wall. They need to be sharp to cut ingredients without fuss.
All the knives here are simply made to work hard and that's what fussy Japanese professionals love about.

SAITO KNIVES is not the biggest and never aimed to be but always provide the the best products and services.
