My uncle got back from a trip to Japan a couple of months ago and they brought me back a very nice blue steel sontaku knife (I hope I spelled that right!)

They’re pricy, but it’ll last forever and be wicked sharp. You’ll need it for when you want to prepare delicious meals to remind yourself of the trip ;)



For anyone looking at knives (and other culinary tools), have a look at Kappabashi in Tokyo. There's a lot of stores there.


This is possibly a very naive question, but wouldn’t that be an issue when coming back through customs?


There shouldn’t be any issues with customs but as far as security you can bring it in your checked baggage if it is packaged properly and safely.
