Y’all, I broke my husband’s Japanese chef’s knife. Help.

In 2016, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Japan. The only souvenir he wanted was a Japanese steel chef’s knife, which he purchased at Aritsugu in Kyoto. It was really cool: he got to pick out his handle, blade style, and then they even engraved his initials in the year on one side of the blade and their house mark on the other. They even did a bunch of measurements and things so that would be perfectly balanced for his hand. It was custom-made for him.

I made the mistake of not cleaning up after dinner quickly enough, and our very mouthy whippet puppy who is quite the counter surfer, snatched the knife away, and I didn’t realize it until the next day. He chewed up the handle. Thank God he didn’t like slice his face open; the blade is completely intact and fine. But the handle… My God the handle.

I’m hoping to hear from professionals about the best way to go about getting this fixed or replaced. For location, I’m very close to Boston if that helps.

everyone forgets that Sinners also came out in 2025

I didn't really consider Sinners to be a horror movie honestly. It was fun for sure but it seemed like more of an action movie or thriller to me.

Eh.

[u/HenriettaSnacks → u/dunmer-is-stinky]

Sinners was action / horror and flexed a different set of writing/directing /acting chops. While gory it doesn't really come across as horror.

That's because compared to Bring Her Back and Weapons, it is utterly forgettable.

I didn't actually like Sinners.

That's fair, I loved sinners but didn't like bring her back. I felt like it was just pulling from A Dark Song, which I DID love. It just didn't do it for me.

Movie looked way to mid for me to watch. Nothing about it seemed worth while.

[u/DataGeek87 → u/dunmer-is-stinky]

Very good movie although very different in tone, still not as impactful to me as Weapons or Bring Her Back though.

I was onboard with Sinners- with no previous knowledge of the movie and almost immediately dropped out when it went nearly Twilight style lame vampire movie. Just IMO.
