AUS-8
Also known as 8A, molybdenum steel and other names, AUS-8 is rust-resistant and easy to sharpen. Recommended for newcomers to the kitchen knife world.
Stainless Steel
AUS-8 Steel is a standard stainless steel that is often used in knives due to its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. It's lower hardness levels compared to other steels like Silver Steel #3 and VG-10 mean that it will be easier to sharpen and less likely to chip during use. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's AUS-8 knives have improved sharpness and edge retention due to our special quenching processes.

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.
