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 philosophy.
“Kitsuki” symbolizes hardness and purity — knives that shine in the kitchen like the moon in the night sky.
Sakai Kitsuki is more than just a knife brand; it is a bridge connecting ancient and modern, East and West.
Each piece is crafted by master artisans from Japan’s renowned knife-making regions — from the historic city of Sakai to Seki, Echizen (Fukui) with over 700 years of forging history, and the independent blacksmiths of Fukuoka.
Every hammer strike and polish reflects their passion for the art of forging and their pursuit of perfection.
Through their work, Sakai Kitsuki showcases the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship, allowing every user to feel the depth of tradition and artistry in each cut.
