Ikazuchi Series
Ikazuchi means "Thunder" in Japanese. The Ikazuchi series uses Japanese VG-10 Stainless steel for the blade with a vibrant Damascus pattern.
VG10 Stainless Steel
The core material is made of VG-10 Stainless Steel, which has high hardness and is resistant to rust.
Additionally, the blade has been forged, making it tougher and improving edge retention over normal "Warikomi" ( Split & Insert ) style Japanese Knives.
Handle
The handle for the Ikazuchi series is made using a special production process. Special thermo-resin is added to multiple sheets of paper, heat and compressed under extreme load. The final product is a handle that feels and looks like wood, but with additional water resistance, durability and the ability to customize the look. In this case the handle features the melding of deep blacks and subtle green hues.

Petty
Petty knife or Petit knife is ideal for detailed food preparation such as peeling, slicing and decorative work.The blade size can vary from 120mm to 150mm and is quite light in hand. Professional chefs often use the short 125mm blade for peeling and cutting. For home use, the 150mm size is popular.
VG-10
Adding cobalt to VG-1 stainless steel increases wear and tear resistance and durability. VG-10 knives are also easy to process, making them great all-rounders.
Stainless Steel
VG-10 is one of the most popular stainless steels used in kitchen knives today and is made from carefully selected and high-purity raw materials with good machinability. VG-10 is both hard and tough, while staying easy to resharpen.This combination of factors gives the highly efficient VG-10 a strong advantage over other steels in its field.

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.
