Mono Steel
Mono-steel knives, sometimes called single-steel knives, are made entirely of one piece of steel. Mono-steel knives have better cutting power versus clad and Damascus-finished knives with the same steel material. While mono-steel knives are vulnerable to impact damage, a master artisan can properly quench and remove the steel's distortions, removing this downside while creating a sharp cutting edge.

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.
