TEN
In Japanese, Ten translates as "sky" or "heaven" and can also give the impression of high standards and class.
FV10 Series : VG10 Stainless Steel
The blade is made of VG10 stainless steel, which is the most popular stainless steel among chefs today. Made from carefully selected, high-purity raw materials using the latest steelmaking technology, VG10 is a very superior steel material that is both hard and has a tenacious edge for both sharpness and long edge retention. It also has good machinability and can be easily resharpened. It is the most recommended stainless steel in our store as it has the best conditions required as a stainless steel.
Wa-Gyuto : Chef Knife with Japanese style handle
The Wa-Gyuto is a blend of Japanese and Western kitchen knives with a blade made of a single material, incorporating the handle of the Japanese kitchen knives that Japanese chefs are accustomed to using. It is designed to match the traditional Japanese atmosphere. It is an all-purpose knife for Japanese cooking, which can be used for a wide range of dishes from meat to vegetables.

Wa-Gyuto
A Wa-Gyuto Chef's Knife is a French-style chef's knife fitted to a Japanese-style handle, familiar to traditional Japanese chefs. These handles are often Octagonal, D-shaped (Chestnut-type), or Round (Circle-type). Wa-Gyuto knives are all-purpose and made for meat, vegetables, and fish. This makes them a popular choice for chefs in Western restaurants throughout Japan. For preparing meat blocks or cutting cabbage into strips, a 300mm Wa-Gyuto is best. 270mm also works for cooking if the cutting board is large enough. 240mm is popular with professionals, as it handles tasks from preparation to delicate work. 180mm and 210mm are popular for home use, as they cut through large pieces of food without much strain.
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.
