Powdered High Speed Tool Steel Micarta handle

Gyuto

Gyuto, literally means "Beef knife" . The Japanese did not consume beef until it began to modernise with increased Western influence in the late 1800's. During that period, when Japanese thought of Western food, they thought of giant slabs of beef being cut and grilled or stewed, thus the "Gyuto" was born.In modern times it is the most common knife in Japanese households, with also the most variety of steel,blade lengths and handle materials available.

Professionals often use in the 240mm-270mm size range. For home use, the most popular size is 180mm-210mm.

Powdered High-Speed Steel - SG2

Powder metallurgy brings unseen levels of hardness to stainless steel, leading to an amazing cutting ability and toughness.

Stainless Steel

Powdered HSS is the latest steel material made using the powder metallurgy method. Molten metal is solidified into atomized steel powder, which is then pressed, sintered, and manufactured by forging and rolling. Compared to the conventional melting method, there is no segregation and the structure is uniformly fine, resulting in high hardness and good edge retention, with high machinability.

Micarta handle

Handle

Micarta is a modern high tech handle material with excellent heat, water and shock resistance. It is popular among knife enthusiasts for its ease of shaping and superb durability. Micarta comes in multiple patterns and finishes and is often considered to be one of the most comfortable handle materials.

Damascus Pattern

It is made by forging two types of steel with different hardness together. Bending and overlapping them in layers, and then polishing the blade to reveal the pattern formed. The harder steel shines, while the softer steel remains dull, creating a unique pattern on the surface that resembles wood grain. This ripple pattern is called Damascus steel and has become popular in the kitchen knife community.

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.
