Ikazuchi Series
Ikazuchi means "Thunder" in Japanese. The Ikazuchi series uses Japanese VG-10 Stainless steel for the blade with a vibrant Damascus pattern.
VG10 Stainless Steel
The core material is made of VG-10 Stainless Steel, which has high hardness and is resistant to rust.
Additionally, the blade has been forged, making it tougher and improving edge retention over normal "Warikomi" ( Split & Insert ) style Japanese Knives.
Handle
The handle for the Ikazuchi series is made using a special production process. Special thermo-resin is added to multiple sheets of paper, heat and compressed under extreme load. The final product is a handle that feels and looks like wood, but with additional water resistance, durability and the ability to customize the look. In this case the handle features the melding of deep blacks and subtle green hues.

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.
