Coutellerie Bourly Montparnasse Paris 6

If you are looking for an excellent kitchen knife then this is the right place. Japanese kitchen knives are acknowledged to be the best kitchen knives ever produced and we mean to offer the best ones ever to be found in the knife market for sale.

If you decided to visit us in our knife shop, you would have the opportunity to see that there are many kitchen knives available, and not only Japanese knives. Indeed we retail French knives and German knives as well. Each and every one of them have pros and cons but we wish to offer our customers the wider choice possible, as we consider that every customer has specific needs.

As professional knife retailers, we must be perfectly honest and acknowledge our preference for Japanese kitchen knives. All the Japanese kitchen knives displayed in our shop are genuine Japanese knives, they are produced by Japanese manufacturers or by Japanese craftsmen and master blacksmiths.

And here comes our answer: we prefer Japanese kitchen knives for many reasons actually. As kitchen utensils, Japanese knives are reliable, handy, sustainable products. They are robust and powerful tools and the quality of their making is simply perfect. The Japanese love cooking as much as they love conceiving and making incredible kitchen utensils. They are as careful in preparing their food as they are in making the tools they use to do so.

What is their secret? How can the Japanese prepare such delicate food, and above anything else with such accuracy? The answer is plain and simple, they make incredibly efficient kitchen knives.

Choose your kitchen knife according to the price you are ready to pay, how demanding you are towards your equipment, what kind of food you like to prepare the most, what room is available in your kitchen and make your own decision.

There are many kinds of Japanese kitchen knives and they are not made identically. Some are produced according to industrial processes; some are produced by craftsmen, master blacksmiths. And a third category is produced by small cutlery factories who make knives. These are handmade knives, which are produced on a larger scale than what you might find from a craftsman’s workshop. Whatever knife you decide to choose, choose it according to what you need, there is no such thing as a ‘best knife’.

Step into the light! We are happy to welcome you to our knife shop and to show you various kinds of knives: folding knives, pocket knives, kitchen knives.

Our shop assistants are here to help you find the right knife, whether you prefer industrial knives or craft knives.

The Coutellerie Bourly knife shop is the place to buy quality kitchen knives. We are happy to welcome you to our shop and to offer you the best knives available in the market. We retail German knives, French knives, Spanish knives and many more, and of course Japanese kitchen knives, which we consider the best knives dedicated to cooking.

We consider that there is no such thing as ‘the best knife’. As knife experts, we consider that a good knife is a tool that is fit for its user, meaning that it should correspond to what you mean to do with it. Choose your knife according to what you need specifically because there are many kinds of knives, not only one.

Japanese knives are equipped with specific and typical types of blades. Some will allow you to do more than others with the same blade. You can do a lot of things with santoku knives or chef’s knives, for instance, because they are multipurpose tools. Some others are more specific tools such as nakiri knives for fruit and vegetables or sashimi knives for fish fileting.

Good knives are tools perfectly adapted to you and to your food habits. Choose your knife according to what you need. There are many knives: multipurpose knives and very specific kinds of blades. Come and visit our website www.couteaujaponais.com to discover our thorough collection of Japanese kitchen knives. We would be pleased to welcome you to our shop in the 6th district of Paris.

For instance, on the one hand, if you often cook meat you should consider buying a chef’s knife – or a gyuto knife as the Japanese call it. On the other hand, if you cook fruit and vegetables then we advise you to buy a nakiri knife or an usuba knife. Japanese nakiri knives are equipped with square-shaped blades, which allow you to cut great quantities of fruit and vegetables and to pick them up from your cutting board with your blade, as you would do with a shovel.

If you are looking for a multipurpose knife then we advise you to use a Japanese santoku knife with no hesitation. Santoku knives are now must-have accessories in every kitchen – even catering professionals use them – and the Japanese acknowledge them three main functions, which are cutting, slicing, and mincing. If you cook meat, fish or vegetables, be sure to have a santoku knife in your kitchen.
