Brand Introduction:
⭕Sakai Takayuki is a brand of Aoki Hamono Seisakusho, inheriting over 600 years of Sakai forged blade craftsmanship. Sakai City is one of Japan’s three major knife-producing regions, originally renowned for sword making. From the 16th century onward, the development of tobacco knives led to high-quality handcrafted kitchen knives, which later became exclusive items of the Edo Shogunate. The forging process emphasizes repeated hammering of soft iron and steel, resulting in sharp and durable blades.
Sakai Takayuki offers a wide range of kitchen knives, including single-bevel and double-bevel, Japanese-style and Western-style knives, and exports to over 100 countries. The brand is highly regarded by professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts worldwide. In recent years, the “Sakai Takayuki Knife Gallery & Lounge” has combined knives, art, and culinary experiences, allowing visitors to gain deeper insight into craftsmanship and Japanese knife culture, further elevating Sakai forged knives on the global stage.
