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.

Sujihiki
"Sujihiki" in Japanese literally means "flesh slicer" and is also known as "Japnese Carving Knife". It is mainly used for cutting meat. Its long and narrow blade is easy to control when cutting a block of meat and cutting curvely along the stripes. Many people use it as a slicer, and some cooks use it as a sashimi knife. Many use the 300 mm model for cutting large blocks, such as butcher shops. For the restuarants which often slice meat into small pieces such as Yakiniku (BBQ) restuarants, the 270 mm model is more popular. The 240 mm knife is suitable for those with a smaller work volume or those who work with smaller blocks of meat.
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.

Handle
Compressed plywood pattern. It has a sturdy compressed plywood handle with a brim for improved balance.Each piece is hand cut and polished for a very high quality look.
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.
