HIDARI started in 2018 as a Japanese shop for left-handers, known at home as Hidarikiki no Doguten, and now runs an English store shipping from Gifu to more than 100 countries. The catalogue leans on Japanese makers: kitchen knives from Suncraft and Mitsuboshi Cutlery, garden shears from Sakagen, plus scissors, peelers, planners, notebooks and wallets built for the left hand. Economy delivery by Japan Post is quoted at 7 to 20 business days, and a small physical store opened in Kakamigahara in 2023.
It suits buyers who care about blade geometry and finish more than about price: Japanese left-handed knives cost noticeably more than mass market ones, and import duties can land on top. Support runs through email and a contact form, there is no phone line for overseas buyers. Anyone hunting for lefty sports gear or guitars should look elsewhere, the range here is kitchen, stationery and everyday carry.
