Stainless Steel
Silver Steel #3 is a traditional stainless steel, used for many years in the Japanese kitchen knife world and trusted by chefs who need premium sharpness. Hitachi Metals, a manufacturer of carbon steels like White Steel and Blue Steel, developed Silver Steel #3 as a rust-resistant stainless steel, with increased carbon levels to allow it to perform more like a traditional carbon steel knife. It has brilliant edge retention, and is suitable for people who need to use a knife for longer sessions and still want amazing cutting power, but are concerned about rust. This is popular with professionals, home users and newcomers alike.

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.
