SWORD-FV10 Series
Our SWORD FV-10 Series is our best-selling series, overcoming the opinion that "stainless steel knives are inferior to carbon steel ones in sharpness and edge retention." We use VG-10 stainless steel for these knives, known for its extreme hardness and similar characteristics to other steels that cut well. However, good steel alone does not make a good knife. To make the most of VG-10 steel, we fill this knife with the true essence of knifemaking: tempering without reducing hardness, removing distortions from the single-steel blade to prevent cracking, and thinning the blade out with a whetstone. Many chefs have fallen in love with the sharpness our SWORD FV-10 line provides, buying the entire line after just using one. This is the pinnacle of our knife manufacturing, research, and hard work.

Gyuto
Gyuto, literally means "Beef knife" . The Japanese did not consume beef until it began to modernise with increased Western influence in the late 1800's. During that period, when Japanese thought of Western food, they thought of giant slabs of beef being cut and grilled or stewed, thus the "Gyuto" was born.In modern times it is the most common knife in Japanese households, with also the most variety of steel,blade lengths and handle materials available.
Professionals often use in the 240mm-270mm size range. For home use, the most popular size is 180mm-210mm.
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.

Full Steel
Forging Process
A full steel blade or Mono-Steel blade means that only one type of steel has been used in its construction from spine to edge. Making knives with a single steel type requires expert attention during the manufacturing process to ensure the blade does not become overly brittle or warped. Differentiating a high quality Mono-Steel Blade from a low quality Mono-Steel blade can be quite difficult at a quick glance.

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.
