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.

VG-1 Stainless Octagonal 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.

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.
