The Sakimaru Takohiki is a variation of the Yanagiba and Takohiki, and is used for much the same purposes. Sakimaru Takohiki are easily identifiable by their blade tips, which look similar to that of a Katana. Their blades have a straight spine similar to the Takohiki, and a slightly curved edge like the Yanagiba, resulting in a knife which looks somewhat like a combination of the two.

The Honyaki knives can only be made by a few skilled craftsmen in Japan in same method as traditional Japanese sword. It is an art of craftsmanship with Japanese traditional techniques, and features outstanding sharpness and durability. The production is very small, due to the difficulty and time-consuming process.

Shirogami No.2 has minimal impurities and a very fine grain structure, so it is ideal for fine cutting tools such as Japanese traditional-style knives. Despite being a ‘simple’ carbon steel, Shirogami No.2 has very good edge retention and it is also very easy to re-sharpen. Recommended for first-time users of Japanese traditional-style knives.

The mirror finished White Paper (Shirogami) Steel Knife is made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives.

Its blade is made through Honyaki process, so the edge gets very hard and retains its sharpness for a long time.

The honyaki knives cannot be mass-produced. They are primarily for professional chefs and for the most important person because of the highest quality traditional-style Japanese knives.

About the handle, the beautiful Buffalo Tsuba (bolster) equipped to the Ebony Wood handle represent high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally. The handle shape of Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand.
(＊Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (bolster) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.)

Best blade and my favorite knife i have used

I have used many different brands throughout my career. This blade beats everyone I have put into my hand by far. Holds an edge longer than most and very easy to sharpen when need be. I have had mine for years and will never look towards another brand. Best knife in a professional kitchen and will not disappoint.

The knife is so well balanced, crafted in detail and really satisfying to hold and use. It’s hard to imagine that the craftsmanship can be achieved in something that is so affordable. Service as always was really great too, shipped fast and arrived within a few days.

Great customer service. Fast delivery. The knives are sharp- exceeded my expectations. Would definitely buy again as a gift.

I really love the craftsmanship on this knife, elegant design.

Well, I'm not very experienced about knives. But they are very sharp. I also like full-metall construction, like the design. They are quite useful in the kitchen.

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
