Stainless Ogtagonal Handle Series
Our Stainless Octagonal Series harmoniously links Japanese and Western-style knives together. Our handle combines a stainless steel material with a modern interpretation of the classic Japanese octagonal handle. This makes the handle light and comfortable while staying easy to clean. Like our G-Line series, we make and process these blades with VG-1 stainless steel. This allows for smooth cuts and good edge retention. This series is highly recommended for people who cook for long periods and worry about food hygiene and sterile environments.
Granton Edge
The Granton edge means the blade with dimples on both sides. The dimples let the air enter into gaps between them and the food, which make the knife cut through the food more easily and smoothly.

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.
VG-1
A stainless steel with great cost performance, designed for high hardness and long edge retention
Stainless Steel
VG-1 makes its mark as a reliable stainless steel, which we've made knives with for decades. Its key feature is a high hardness level, which also means longer edge retention. A well-made VG-1 knife will have excellent sharpness compared to other stainless steels as the raw materials contain very few impurities. While the high hardness makes sharpening a little difficult, it also makes a knife that can cut well for a very long time. We recommend this steel for people who do longer cutting sessions and don't want to sharpen during those processes.
Stainless Octagonal Handle
Handle
Stainless Steel handles are becoming popular with professionals and home chefs alike for their hygenic and ease of maintenance. This octagonal shape comes from Japanese style handle.
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.
