Notice about White and Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for Mizuno Tanrenjo Knives
Unfortunately, Mizuno Tanrenjo and most other knife makers are now struggling to find the raw materials to make White or Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for their knife handles.
Due to these difficult and unfortunate circumstances, we regret to inform our customers that Mizuno Tanrenjo is no longer able to accept requests for a specific color of Water Buffalo Horn Ferrule. However, we firmly believe in the high quality and craftsmanship of Mizuno Tanrenjo’s traditionally-forged Japanese knives - They are one of the most well-respected producers of traditionally-forged Japanese knives - and we highly recommend them!
Thank you very much for your understanding and attention.
I recently ordered The Mizuno Tanrenjo Akitada Hontanren Series Blue Steel No.2 "GF-25BL" Wa Santoku and was delighted with the quick shipping service provided by the seller. The product arrived at my doorstep much sooner than I had anticipated, and I couldn't have been happier. As for the knife itself, it is an exceptional knife that truly lives up to its reputation. From its sleek and elegant design to its unparalleled cutting performance, this knife is a must-have for any chief or home cook.
Well balanced, beautiful craftsmanship, very sharp out of the box. We asked that the knife be fitted with an octagonal magnolia wood handle and it arrived within 7 days from the order. This is our second knife purchased from Japanese Chefs Knife. Great service and great products, highly recommend!
