Usuba (Kamagata Type)
Usuba Knives are used for cutting, chopping, and peeling vegetables in Japanese cuisine. The Kamagata type (the rectagle shape) is common used in the Kansai region (the western part of Japan). The edge is straight from chin to top.Most professionals use a 210mm type of Usuba Knife which has single-edged blade. On the contrary, a Nakiri Knife which has double-edged blade is more popular for home use.
VG10
Stainless Steel
VG10 is one of the most popular stainless steels on the market today. It has very few impurities and maintains a good hardness with the added benefit of being easy to sharpen and rust resistent.
Magnolia Octagonal Handle
Handle
Our Magnolia wood handles are made from natural Magnolia and Buffalo Horn ( Ethically sourced Horn ).The Magnolia and Buffalo Horn are fitted tightly together then shaped and polished in the traditional octagonal style to not only look beautiful, but also feel comfortable in the hand.
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.

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.
