Wa-Gyuto
A Wa-Gyuto Chef's Knife is a French-style chef's knife fitted to a Japanese-style handle, familiar to traditional Japanese chefs. These handles are often Octagonal, D-shaped (Chestnut-type), or Round (Circle-type). Wa-Gyuto knives are all-purpose and made for meat, vegetables, and fish. This makes them a popular choice for chefs in Western restaurants throughout Japan. For preparing meat blocks or cutting cabbage into strips, a 300mm Wa-Gyuto is best. 270mm also works for cooking if the cutting board is large enough. 240mm is popular with professionals, as it handles tasks from preparation to delicate work. 180mm and 210mm are popular for home use, as they cut through large pieces of food without much strain.
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.
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.
