Shinco Series
Made with Japanese high-purity carbon steel, our Shinco Series is known for its quality sharpness while staying easy to sharpen. A superior heat treatment puts better toughness into the blade, making it easier to sharpen to a tighter angle. This gives the Shinco Series superior cutting power.
*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.

Sujihiki
"Sujihiki" in Japanese literally means "flesh slicer" and is also known as "Japnese Carving Knife". It is mainly used for cutting meat. Its long and narrow blade is easy to control when cutting a block of meat and cutting curvely along the stripes. Many people use it as a slicer, and some cooks use it as a sashimi knife. Many use the 300 mm model for cutting large blocks, such as butcher shops. For the restuarants which often slice meat into small pieces such as Yakiniku (BBQ) restuarants, the 270 mm model is more popular. The 240 mm knife is suitable for those with a smaller work volume or those who work with smaller blocks of meat.

Compressed Wood
This handle is made of a durable, compressed plywood, with a flange attached to improve balance. It's known for being very hygiene-friendly because water cannot easily get into the core wedged between the handle.

Mono Steel
Mono-steel knives, sometimes called single-steel knives, are made entirely of one piece of steel. Mono-steel knives have better cutting power versus clad and Damascus-finished knives with the same steel material. While mono-steel knives are vulnerable to impact damage, a master artisan can properly quench and remove the steel's distortions, removing this downside while creating a sharp cutting edge.

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.
