Serie Gokujo
"Gokujō" (極上) significa "supremo" en japonés, y nuestra Serie Gokujō es una de las que más nos enorgullece. Los artesanos forjan el Acero Blanco nº 2 en el fuego con métodos tradicionales, y luego pulen la hoja a mano. El resultado es una hoja elegante, con gran capacidad de corte y retención del filo. Las poderosas líneas de niebla cerca del filo ejemplifican aún más esta maestría artesanal. Rematados con un mango de magnolia, estos cuchillos son ligeros como una pluma, lo que significa menos tensión muscular.
Nuestros cuchillos Gokujō son todo sobre el alto rendimiento, manteniendo la estética tradicional.

White Steel #2
A highly pure carbon steel, being easy to sharpen while staying cost-effective. Highly recommended as the best steel for your first professional quality knife.
Carbon Steel
White Steel #2 is the benchmark carbon steel for Japanese kitchen knives. White Steel #2 knives are widely used by chefs who specialise in Japanese cuisine, more so than other carbon steels. This steel has very few impurities, making the knife both easy to sharpen and less expensive due to the non-inclusion of rare metals.
*NOTE: Carbon Steel is susceptible to rust if it is not properly cared for. Please clean and dry the blade regularly during use and after use.
Magnolia Octagonal Handle
Handle
Our Magnolia wood handles are made from natural Magnolia and Buffalo Horn ( Ethically sourced Horn ).The Magnolia and Buffalo Horn are fitted tightly together then shaped and polished in the traditional octagonal style to not only look beautiful, but also feel comfortable in the hand.
Forge Welded
Forging Process
A forge welded blade is essentially a blade made of more than one billet of steel. There are many variations of technique and steel combinations. At its most simple, a forge welded blade is two billets of steel heated and hammer together to form one unified piece. The steel will then be shaped by hammer into the desired blade shape. Hardened and tempered, then ground, sharpened and polished. A forge welded blade has higher strength and edge retention than a stamped blade.

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.
