The blade is crafted from VG10 stainless steel, which combines long-lasting sharpness with ease of sharpening, while also offering excellent rust resistance and simple maintenance.
The Nakiri knife is your vegetable specialist, designed for precise slicing, dicing, and chopping of all kinds of vegetables with effortless control.

Nakiri
A Nakiri knife is a double edged , rectangular shaped knife mainly used in Japanese households for chopping vegetables. The shape of the blade allows for your cut to go straight down to the cutting board, eliminating the rocking motion of other knives.
VG-10
Adding cobalt to VG-1 stainless steel's composition increases its wear resistance and tenacity. The resulting VG-10 stainless steel is also easy to process, making it easy to create well-balanced kitchen knives.
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.
Clad
Clad knives are made from a steel plate that has a core steel sandwiched between soft iron. It is then shaped, hardened, and polished. This method is often used for knives focused on cost performance, as they are easier to remove distortions form and process.

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.
