What is Jatagan (jatagan.eu)?
Updated
Jatagan (jatagan.eu) is an online store for knife-making supplies and classic knives, aimed at knifemakers and hobbyists who build or finish their own knives. Its catalog is organized around the main stages of knife making — blades and steel, handle materials, sheath making, and stabilization — plus finished knives, knife kits, and tutorial/inspiration content. If you are looking for raw materials, tools, or a ready-made knife rather than only a finished product, this is the type of shop to check.
What Jatagan sells
The site groups its offer into clear categories, which makes it easy to shop by production step:
- Knife blades and steel — finished blades and steels for making your own blades. The homepage highlights carbon steel 80CrV2 as "high strength, great toughness and easy sharpening," described as ideal for knife makers, and mentions new Cocinero blades for building kitchen knives.
- Handle materials — everything needed to make a knife handle, including stabilized woods and synthetic materials.
- Sheath making — cowhide and other materials for cases, plus aids and tools for working with leather.
- Stabilization — supplies if you need to stabilize materials yourself.
- Knife kits — kits in various materials, positioned as "the ideal choice for the production of the 'first knife'."
- Finished knives — a selection for anyone who needs a quality knife for everyday use.
- Tutorials and inspiration — customer creations from knifemakers and craftsmen, presented as inspiration.
Examples of products and prices
The homepage lists specific items with prices in EUR including VAT (vč. DPH), which gives a sense of the price range:

Who it is for
- Beginner knifemakers — the knife kits are explicitly framed as a first-knife option, and the category structure walks you through each stage.
- Experienced makers — steels such as 80CrV2 and Sleipner, stabilized handle blocks, leather-working tools, and stabilization supplies cover the full build.
- Buyers of finished knives — the "Sharp choice" section offers completed knives if you don't want to make one.
- Leather workers — the sheath-making category extends beyond knives to general leather work.
Practical notes
The site is in English and prices are shown in EUR including VAT, with items marked in stock or out of stock. Shipping范围, delivery terms, and payment options are not specified in the available page content, so check the actual site pages for those details before ordering. The homepage also notes restocks and news items (for example, Tokonole burnishing gum returning to stock), so it is worth checking the "Hot news" section for availability updates.
