Unit price perKnife Information
Sakai Kikumori was founded in 1926 by Kawamura Hamono as a wholesaler, and they work with some of the best blacksmiths in Japan. Being a smaller wholesaler, they have the flexibility to create their own brands and pursue creative projects that larger brands choose not to do. They have excelled in this area, creating a line of products that are of some of the highest quality we've ever seen.
This range is crafted by none other than Yoshikazu Tanaka, widely considered to be one of the best blacksmiths in Sakai. They are forged using Blue 1 Steel with soft iron cladding, and a band of Kasumi finish polished by hand. Chefs Edge has opted for the upgraded Ebony handles, and the knives come with a polished and rounded spine and choil.
