Brand Introduction
☽ Sakai Kitsuki (さかい きつき): “As sharp as a tooth, as bright as the moon.” This phrase perfectly represents the brand’s original philosophy.
“Kitsuki” stands for hardness and purity, symbolizing knives that shine in the kitchen like the moon in the night sky.
Sakai Kitsuki is not merely a knife brand — it is a bridge connecting the ancient and the modern, East and West.
Each knife is handcrafted by renowned Japanese artisans from various traditional knife-making regions, from the historic city of Sakai to Seki, Echizen (Fukui) with over 700 years of history, and Fukuoka’s independent blacksmiths.
Their passion for the art of forging and their pursuit of perfection are infused into every hammer strike and polish.
Through their craftsmanship, Sakai Kitsuki allows the world to experience the beauty and precision of Japanese blade-making tradition.
Material Introduction
VG10 Steel: Composition — Carbon (C): ≈1.0%, Chromium (Cr): ≈15.0%, Vanadium (V): ≈0.2–0.3%, Molybdenum (Mo): ≈1.0%, Cobalt (Co): ≈1.5%.
This combination offers excellent hardness and corrosion resistance.
The addition of cobalt and vanadium enhances wear resistance and edge retention.
With a hardness of HRC 60–62, VG10 maintains sharpness for long periods while preserving toughness.
Its high chromium content gives it superior rust resistance, ideal for humid or acidic kitchen environments.
