Usuba (Kamagata Type)
Usuba Knives are used for cutting, chopping, and peeling vegetables in Japanese cuisine. The Kamagata type (the rectagle shape) is common used in the Kansai region (the western part of Japan). The edge is straight from chin to top.Most professionals use a 210mm type of Usuba Knife which has single-edged blade. On the contrary, a Nakiri Knife which has double-edged blade is more popular for home use.
Silver Steel #3
Often used for traditional Japanese stainless steel knives. Known for ease of sharpening and rust resistance, all while performing like a carbon steel knife.
Stainless Steel
Silver Steel #3 is a traditional stainless steel, used for many years in the Japanese kitchen knife world and trusted by chefs who need premium sharpness. Hitachi Metals, a manufacturer of carbon steels like White Steel and Blue Steel, developed Silver Steel #3 as a rust-resistant stainless steel, with increased carbon levels to allow it to perform more like a traditional carbon steel knife. It has brilliant edge retention, and is suitable for people who need to use a knife for longer sessions and still want amazing cutting power, but are concerned about rust. This is popular with professionals, home users and newcomers alike.
Yew octagonal handle
Handle
These handles are made from Yew wood, this wood was historically used in European Longbows due to its density, strength and rot resistance. It was also used by Prince Shotoku , a regent in the Japanese Court.This wood is characterized by its beautiful grain and a color that darkens with age.
Forge Welded
Forging Process
A forge welded blade is essentially a blade made of more than one billet of steel. There are many variations of technique and steel combinations. At its most simple, a forge welded blade is two billets of steel heated and hammer together to form one unified piece. The steel will then be shaped by hammer into the desired blade shape. Hardened and tempered, then ground, sharpened and polished. A forge welded blade has higher strength and edge retention than a stamped blade.

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.
