Optional Engraving

*Double-check your name is entered correctly in the "Optional Engraving" section. We accept no responsibility for items incorrectly engraved due to customer error such as typos. Engraved items cannot be returned or refunded.

*To have your name engraved in Japanese, type "JP" and your name's origin/accent after it (EG: "Agethe-JP French"). We'll engrave your name in Katakana (Japanese syllabary used for foreign words) onto the knife. Katakana is based on pronounciation, so if a country of origin is not listed we will go with an American English pronounciation.

*For Kanji requests (Japanese syllabary based off Chinese characters), type KANJI after your name and the name's origin/accent (EG: "Agethe-KANJI French"). We will select Kanji for you based on this.

KURO Series

Our smiths forge the Kuro Series with Blue Steel Super, the pinnacle of hardness in high carbon steels. This means superb sharpness and very long edge retention. Restoring this sharpness takes time, but the result is worth the extra effort. We recommend our Kuro line if you can already sharpen and maintain Japanese carbon steel knives. While anyone can use this knife, an expert will shine with it.

"Kuro" comes from the kanji 玄, associated with depth, black color, and mysteriousness. It is also the first kanji in the word 玄人 (kuroto), meaning "professional". So, let this mysterious-looking, kurouchi-finished knife help you become a pro in the kitchen!

Blue Steel Super -

Santoku

Santoku are typically used in households around Japan. It is the quintessential all-purpose knife. Santoku's were developed by combining the best features of a Japanese knife and a Western knife.

Blue Steel Super

Even harder than Blue Steel #1, with added vanadium for hardness and wear resistance. The hardest and highest grade of carbon steel in knives.

Carbon Steel

Blue Steel Super is made by adding carbon and vanadium to Blue Steel #1, resulting in a structucally stronger and harder blade. Knives made from Blue Steel Super have incredibly sharpness and long edge retention levels. However, this hard steel will take time to sharpen and requires careful usage due to embrittlement risks. An amazing cutting experience, recommended for those who know how to use a knife well and want to experience a new level of sharpness.



*NOTE: Carbon Steel is susceptible to rust if it is not properly cared for. Please clean and dry the blade regularly during use and after use.

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.
