Left Handed Conversions

Here at Korin, we can convert any western style knives to a left handed blade, regardless of whether or not they were purchased from the store. Left handed boning knives must be special ordered and may take up to two months to be shipped and will cost 25% more.


Please be aware that in order to utilize any knife to its fullest potential, we advice customers to never change the blade’s bevel. 50/50 beveled knives were engineered to be symmetrical, the same way 70/30 knives are engineered to be asymmetrical. The piece of carbon that gives knives a blade is centered to the bevel, by changing so you may result in the blade being brittle.


Left handed traditional Japanese knives must be special ordered. Special ordered Japanese knives will take up to two months and cost 50% more than the right handed traditional Japanese knife. This is due to the fact that older generation Japanese people, regardless of being left handed were trained to be right handed. Therefore, there is a higher risk of mistakes and wasted materials. Please inquire for further information and we'll be happy to try to meet your needs.


Left hand conversions for Western style knives are $20 per knife. We guarantee that all knives will be ready for pick up within 7 days, shipping time is not included. We will contact you via phone or email when they are ready to be returned.


How to send your knives in for sharpening/repairing

1. Print and fill out everyone on the Knife Service Request Form. Please be sure to state whether you are left or right handed.

4. Please state whether you are a left-handed or right-handed user and what you would like to be done on your knives (for example: broken tip needs repair, chip on blade needs fixing, etc.)
