Yanagiba (Sashimi Knife)
Yanagiba knives are mainly used for cutting Sashimi. The sharpness and edge geometry is of the utmost important with a Yanagiba, as a dull knife will damage the delicate fibres of the fish. The blade is long, slender, thin and sharp for cutting sashimi in one stroke. In addition to cutting sashimi, this knife is also used for pulling the skin. Professionals use long Yanagiba knives with blades around 300mm. For home use, Yanagiba knives with a blade of around 210mm are popular.
VG-10
Adding cobalt to VG-1 stainless steel increases wear and tear resistance and durability. VG-10 knives are also easy to process, making them great all-rounders.
Stainless Steel
VG-10 is one of the most popular stainless steels used in kitchen knives today and is made from carefully selected and high-purity raw materials with good machinability. VG-10 is both hard and tough, while staying easy to resharpen.This combination of factors gives the highly efficient VG-10 a strong advantage over other steels in its field.
Magnolia Octagonal Handle
Our octagonal magnolia wood handles are designed to be comfortable to hold. Made with natural magnolia, they are complemented with bolsters made from ethically sourced buffalo horn and polished until there is no height gap between the two. The unique grain of magnolia wood contours to your hand as you continue to use it.
Forge Welded
Forge Welded knives undergo a forging process where steel is heated to high temperatures and then shaped with a hammer. This carefully done process changes the internal structure of the steel, producing a blade with superior hardness levels. Highly skilled craftspeople forge, quench, and create the knife's cutting edge by hand, resulting in a sharp blade with long edge retention.

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.
