Why Work with Kakuri?

Woodworking professionals and hobbyists in Japan have long valued Kakuri products. In recent years, we have begun selling internationally with great success. As our customer base grows, we attribute this success to continuing our mission of providing professional-quality tools at affordable prices.



Quality You Can Trust

Since the beginning of our business in 1946, we have been working to supply quality products at affordable prices by utilizing our connections with master craftsmen in Sanjo, Niigata, one of the leading blacksmith towns in Japan. The most vital aspect of our company is this close cooperation with the local craftsmen who are so familiar with the tools we produce.

Beautiful Design & Finish

Tools are meant to be used, so "functionality" is the top priority in each product’s design. With this in mind, many of our products are designed in a way that invites the woodworker to choose them as their preferred daily tools (such as the hammered surfaces of our kiridashi knives).

Reliability & Longevity

Our Japanese woodworking tools are long-lasting and reliable. For the best results, however, they need to be adequately cared for like any quality hand tool. We provide distribution partners with detailed instructions to help educate customers on proper tool maintenance and storage. 

No Middleman = Lower Prices

As the manufacturer of all Kakuri products, we are able to provide additional savings to our distributors and dealers by selling directly at highly competitive wholesale prices. No middleman adds to your profit margin.

Proven Sales Track Record

We are a long-established woodworking tool manufacturer with a strong reputation in Japan and growing brand recognition worldwide.

  • Hand Planes: Total annual shipment of approximately 50,000 pieces

Tutorials & Educational Content

We provide easily accessible instructional content that demonstrates how to use our products on our website and YouTube channel. These can be used by your representatives to expand their knowledge of Japanese hand tools, or be shared with your customers to help answer questions they may have about Kakuri products, thereby improving customer satisfaction and reducing the number of customer support inquiries.

In addition, we can answer any questions that you may have about our products by contacting us directly.
