Brand Introduction:
⭕Sakai Kitsuki: “As sharp as a tooth, as pure as the moonlight.” The name Kitsuki symbolizes hardness and purity, representing brilliance in the kitchen like the moon shining in the night sky.
More than a knife brand, Sakai Kitsuki is a bridge between tradition and modernity, East and West. Crafted by master smiths from Sakai, Seki, Echizen (Fukui), and Fukuoka, each hammer strike and polish reflects their devotion to the art of forging. These knives allow the world to witness the greatness of Japanese craftsmanship and let every user feel tradition and artistry in each cut.
Steel Introduction:
⭕VG10 Honyaki: VG10 is a premium knife steel containing ≈1% carbon, reaching hardness above HRC60. It combines corrosion resistance, durability, and sharpness retention. While VG10 is commonly used in san-mai (three-layer) or ni-mai (two-layer) constructions, Honyaki refers to forging the entire blade from a single piece of VG10. This makes the process far more difficult but results in outstanding toughness and excellent edge retention.
Knife Introduction:
⭕Petty Knife: Ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables, or making precise and delicate cuts. Its agility makes it perfect for handling smaller ingredients and fine knife work.
