Vintage hand-forged Japanese "Kataba" saw 270mm "Heisuke Nakaya" for hardwoods

At Outinomi, we prioritize quality over quantity. Since 2005, we have rigorously selected Japanese tools, Japanese knives, and artisanal objects designed to accompany their user for many years.

Each item is chosen for the quality of its materials, the precision of its manufacture, and the reputation of its workshop or factory. Whether it is a Japanese plane, a traditional saw, a wood chisel, or a kitchen knife, we seek above all else products that are reliable, high-performing, and pleasant to use on a daily basis.

This approach allows us to offer a coherent collection, composed of authentic products imported from Japan, intended for craftsmen, professionals, and lovers of fine tools alike. We believe that an excellent tool is a lasting investment, capable of enduring for years while retaining its original qualities.

Behind Outinomi is Lucas, passionate about Japanese craftsmanship and fascinated by the quality of traditional tools made in Japan. For over twenty years, he has explored this world with a simple ambition: to offer a selection of authentic Japanese tools in France that are often difficult to find elsewhere.

Through encounters with Japanese artisans, blacksmiths, and manufacturers, this passion has become true expertise. Today, Outinomi assists woodworkers, cabinetmakers, chefs, and discerning hobbyists alike in choosing the product best suited to their craft.

Beyond sales, we share a culture of technique, expertise, and transmission. Guides, maintenance tips, and personalized support are an integral part of our approach to help you fully enjoy your Japanese tool or knife for many years to come.
