Optional Engraving

*Double-check your name is entered correctly in the "Optional Engraving" section. We accept no responsibility for items incorrectly engraved due to customer error such as typos. Engraved items cannot be returned or refunded.

*To have your name engraved in Japanese, type "JP" and your name's origin/accent after it (EG: "Agethe-JP French"). We'll engrave your name in Katakana (Japanese syllabary used for foreign words) onto the knife. Katakana is based on pronounciation, so if a country of origin is not listed we will go with an American English pronounciation.

*For Kanji requests (Japanese syllabary based off Chinese characters), type KANJI after your name and the name's origin/accent (EG: "Agethe-KANJI French"). We will select Kanji for you based on this.

White Steel #2 Magnolia Round Handle with Buffalo horn bolster

Deba

Deba knives are often used to fillet fish. The blade is the heaviest of all Japanese knives and is capable of chopping through fish bones and heads easily.Professionals use a 210 mm type to cut Sea Bream and Yellow tail and a 150 mm type to cut small fish such as horse mackerel. For home use, a 150 mm knife is often used.

White Steel #2

A highly pure carbon steel, being easy to sharpen while staying cost-effective. Highly recommended as the best steel for your first professional quality knife.

Carbon Steel

White Steel #2 is the benchmark carbon steel for Japanese kitchen knives. White Steel #2 knives are widely used by chefs who specialise in Japanese cuisine, more so than other carbon steels. This steel has very few impurities, making the knife both easy to sharpen and less expensive due to the non-inclusion of rare metals.



*NOTE: Carbon Steel is susceptible to rust if it is not properly cared for. Please clean and dry the blade regularly during use and after use.

Handle

Forge Welded

Forging Process

A forge welded blade is essentially a blade made of more than one billet of steel. There are many variations of technique and steel combinations. At its most simple, a forge welded blade is two billets of steel heated and hammer together to form one unified piece. The steel will then be shaped by hammer into the desired blade shape. Hardened and tempered, then ground, sharpened and polished. A forge welded blade has higher strength and edge retention than a stamped blade.

Optional Engraving

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.
