Brand Introduction:
⭕Sakai Takayuki is a brand by Aoki Hamono Seisakusho, inheriting over 600 years of Sakai knife-making tradition. Sakai City is one of Japan's three major knife-producing regions, originally renowned for crafting samurai swords. Since the 16th century, with the development of tobacco knives, the region has produced high-quality handmade kitchen knives, which became exclusive products of the Edo Shogunate. Its forging techniques emphasize repeated hammering of soft iron and steel to achieve sharp and durable blades.
Sakai Takayuki offers a wide variety of kitchen knives, including single-bevel, double-bevel, Japanese, and Western styles, exporting to over 100 countries. In recent years, the “Sakai Takayuki Knife Gallery & Lounge” has combined knives, art, and culinary experiences, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate craftsmanship and Japanese knife culture, keeping Sakai blades shining in the global market.
Material Introduction:
⭕INOX is a type of stainless steel commonly used in knives, originating from the Italian word “inoxydable,” meaning “non-rusting.” It usually refers to steel produced by Sandvik of Sweden and is widely used by knife makers such as Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife brand). INOX steel contains at least 12% chromium, giving it excellent corrosion resistance, and often includes other alloying elements like nickel and molybdenum to meet various performance requirements.
Knife Introduction:
⭕Yanagiba (Sashimi Knife): A sashimi knife, known in Japan as “Sashimi bōchō,” is a long, narrow knife designed specifically for slicing sashimi and raw fish. It typically features a very sharp single-bevel edge, enabling extremely fine and smooth cuts, which helps preserve the texture and flavor of the fish.
