Nakiri
A Nakiri knife is a double edged , rectangular shaped knife mainly used in Japanese households for chopping vegetables. The shape of the blade allows for your cut to go straight down to the cutting board, eliminating the rocking motion of other knives.
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.
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.
