JO Series
"Jo" comes from the kanji 穣, and once meant good fertility around harvesting produce. This series combines a Blue Steel #2 blade with a rustic, kurouchi finish. The Jo Series has a sharp and tough cutting edge, complimented by unpolished "black rust".
Black rust—the original steel's color, helps stop damaging red rust from forming on the knife.
These double-edged knives work in either hand and excel as multi-purpose knives.

Funayuki
Funayuki Knife is a much thinner and narrower version of Deba knife. It is a versatile knife that can be used for cutting small fish and vegetables. It was often used by fishermen for simple cooking on their boats. Recently some people also use it at home. If you are a fishmonger or a cook of Japanese restuarant, you may need a professional knife like a Deba Knife. But if you are an angler or want to use for cutting small fish and vegetables at home, this knife can be one for your choice. The most popular size is 180mm-195mm, which is easy to handle.
Blue Steel #2
Adding tungsten, chromium, and alloy carbides to White Steel makes for a tough, chip-resistant blade.
Carbon Steel
Blue Steel #2 is made by adding trace amounts of tungsten and alloy carbides (both for hardness), and chromium (for toughness and rust resistance) to White Steel, creating an alloy steel that is very tightly bonded. This also leads to better edge retention compared to White Steel #2, so you can cut better for longer. Professional chefs looking to enter the next level of quality will often choose a Blue Steel #2 knife, but beginners can use this also.
*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.
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.
