Is Onekawa on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What is Onekawa best known for?

Its santoku and gyuto in VG-10 stainless steel, usually with a Damascus cladding and a 60 HRC core. The blades are thin behind the edge and light in the hand, which suits slicing and push-cutting more than heavy chopping.

Does Onekawa make carbon steel knives?

Yes, several lines use Shirogami or Aogami carbon steel, which takes a keener edge but rusts without care. Dry it right after use and keep it away from the dishwasher; stainless VG-10 models need far less attention.

What does Onekawa's warranty cover?

Coverage varies by line and seller, and most terms address manufacturing defects rather than chips, rust or normal sharpening wear. Check the warranty stated by the specific store before buying, since it is not uniform across the range.

How should I care for a Onekawa knife?

Hand wash and dry it immediately, and store it so the edge touches nothing hard. Japanese blades are ground thin, so avoid frozen food, bones and hard squash, and hone lightly or sharpen on water stones instead of a pull-through.

Can I return a Onekawa knife if it does not suit me?

Return windows and conditions are set by each store, not by Onekawa, and unused knives in original packaging are the usual requirement. Confirm the policy with the seller before ordering, because opened or used knives are often excluded.

Are there Onekawa discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Onekawa products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
