Silver steel #3 (Gin-san steel) is known not only for its outstanding sharpness, but also for its ease of sharpening and long-lasting edge retention. It is considered one of the most well-balanced steels used in knife making.
The true performance of a knife doesn't depend on the material alone — the craftsmanship and forging process also are important.
What sets Silver steel #3 apart is that “its performance is highly influenced by the forging process.”

Wa-Santoku
A Wa-Santoku is typically used in households around Japan. Unlike the standard Santoku, the Wa-Santoku has a traditional Japanese handle which shifts the balance point slightly,allowing more nimble cutting.
Silver Steel #3
Often used for traditional Japanese stainless steel knives. Known for ease of sharpening and rust resistance, all while performing like a carbon steel knife.
Stainless Steel
Silver Steel #3 is a traditional stainless steel, used for many years in the Japanese kitchen knife world and trusted by chefs who need premium sharpness. Hitachi Metals, a manufacturer of carbon steels like White Steel and Blue Steel, developed Silver Steel #3 as a rust-resistant stainless steel, with increased carbon levels to allow it to perform more like a traditional carbon steel knife. It has brilliant edge retention, and is suitable for people who need to use a knife for longer sessions and still want amazing cutting power, but are concerned about rust. This is popular with professionals, home users and newcomers alike.
Walnut Handle
Walnut is a durable wood, commonly used in high-end furniture. It's easy to process and fits the hand naturally.
Forge Welded
Forge Welded knives undergo a forging process where steel is heated to high temperatures and then shaped with a hammer. This carefully done process changes the internal structure of the steel, producing a blade with superior hardness levels. Highly skilled craftspeople forge, quench, and create the knife's cutting edge by hand, resulting in a sharp blade with long edge retention.

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.
