G-Line Series
Our G-Line Series is used by many chefs domestic and abroad, and we have reliably made and sold it for decades. Many chefs from different cuisines report enjoying G-Line knives thanks to their high hardness levels, long edge retention, and good cutting ability. The VG-1 stainless steel used in G-Line knives is manufactured well, using raw materials with few impurities. With 1% carbon and 14% chromium, this steel is hard, wear-resistant, rust-resistant, and cuts through food seamlessly. These four benefits are what any good blade is measured on, and G-Line rates highly in all categories.

Gyuto
Gyuto, literally means "Beef knife" . The Japanese did not consume beef until it began to modernise with increased Western influence in the late 1800's. During that period, when Japanese thought of Western food, they thought of giant slabs of beef being cut and grilled or stewed, thus the "Gyuto" was born.In modern times it is the most common knife in Japanese households, with also the most variety of steel,blade lengths and handle materials available.
Professionals often use in the 240mm-270mm size range. For home use, the most popular size is 180mm-210mm.
VG-1
A stainless steel with great cost performance, designed for high hardness and long edge retention
Stainless Steel
VG-1 makes its mark as a reliable stainless steel, which we've made knives with for decades. Its key feature is a high hardness level, which also means longer edge retention. A well-made VG-1 knife will have excellent sharpness compared to other stainless steels as the raw materials contain very few impurities. While the high hardness makes sharpening a little difficult, it also makes a knife that can cut well for a very long time. We recommend this steel for people who do longer cutting sessions and don't want to sharpen during those processes.
Compressed plywood handle with brim
Handle
Compressed Plywood handles are finished by hand and provide good balance and durable.
Full Steel
Forging Process
A full steel blade or Mono-Steel blade means that only one type of steel has been used in its construction from spine to edge. Making knives with a single steel type requires expert attention during the manufacturing process to ensure the blade does not become overly brittle or warped. Differentiating a high quality Mono-Steel Blade from a low quality Mono-Steel blade can be quite difficult at a quick glance.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.
It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
