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” stands for both strength and purity — symbolizing knives that shine with a unique brilliance in the kitchen, like the moon in the night sky.
Sakai Kitsuki is not just a knife brand but a bridge that connects tradition and modernity, East and West.
Each piece is crafted by master artisans from renowned knife-making regions across Japan — from the historic city of Sakai to Seki, Echizen in Fukui with over 700 years of forging history, and the independent blacksmiths of Fukuoka.
Every strike and polish embodies their passion for the art of forging and their pursuit of perfection.
Sakai Kitsuki allows the world to witness the magnificence of Japanese blade craftsmanship and lets every user feel the spirit of tradition and craftsmanship with each cut.
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 provides excellent hardness and corrosion resistance.
The addition of cobalt and vanadium further enhances wear resistance and edge retention.
With a hardness of HRC 60–62, VG10 maintains sharpness for extended periods while preserving toughness.
Its high chromium content gives it superb anti-corrosion capability, making it ideal for humid and acidic kitchen environments.
Knife Model Introduction
The Sujihiki is primarily used for trimming and removing sinew (membranes) from meat.
Its long, thin blade allows for smooth separation between meat and connective tissue.
It is also commonly used for slicing sushi or sashimi from large cuts of fish (such as tuna akami).
The Sujihiki serves as a versatile hybrid between the Gyuto and the Yanagiba, combining precision and adaptability for both professional chefs and home cooks.
