Fugubiki
The Fugu Hiki knife is suitable for thinly slicing fish, including puffer fish. For this reason, the blade is sharpened much thinner than a willow-blade knife, and the width of the blade is narrower and lighter, making it a knife that pursues only sharpness.
Ginsan Steel(Silver #3)
Steel Material
We use Gin-san(Gingami No.3)steel, which is a highly rust resistant steel developed by Hitachi Metals, Ltd. through their refining process that still uses Japan's time-honored metal working and tatara fumace smelting techniques.
Of the Gingami metals, which have carbon added to 12-14% chrome, Gin-san contains even greater carbon content for a harder steel.
Experts craftsmen spend long hours and use careful techniques to craft each blade. Since the metal is especially hard, the knives hold their edge for a long time and do not rust easily
Ebony octagonal handle
Handle
Ebony octagonal handle
We use an ebony handle that brings high durability and balance to the knives.
Because of its beauty and robustness and the difficulty of processing
It is popular as the most exclusive wood and is used in Buddhist altars.
The unique grain of the wood will naturally become more comfortable in your hand as you use it.
Honyaki
Forging Process
The Honyaki method produces some of the highest grade kitchen knives in the world. It is an extremely difficult and laborious process, reminiscent of traditional Japanese sword making techniques, there are few craftsmen in Japan today that are capable of producing blades this way due to the high level of experience, skill and physical dexterity required.The blades made from the Honyaku method will often have a distinct "Hamon" or edge line in the blade, they are extremely sharp but easily chipped due to their high hardness, so require care when using.
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.
