About "Sakai Cutlery"
Sakai cutlery is a general term for traditional knives produced in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, and has a history spanning more than 600 years.
The technique used is similar to that used for Japanese swordsmithing, and is characterized by the detailed division of labor between the forging, sharpening, attaching the handle, and carving name. We ensure high quality by having specialized engineers take charge of each process.
Its technique and quality have been recognized, it has been designated a traditional craft, and it is loved all over the world, especially by professional chefs.

Forging

This process involves heating steel to a high temperature (approximately 1,000°C or higher) and beating it into shape. In this process, the blacksmith beats the steel with a hammer or machine to stretch it and roughly create the shape of the sword blade. At this stage, the steel and soft iron are firmly integrated to create a sword blade with the proper strength. This is an important operation that determines the strength and sharpness of the blade.

Sharpening

This is the process of sharpening the blade of a kitchen knife to give it the proper angle and sharpness. The blade sharpening of Sakai Uchihamono knives is done by hand by skilled craftsmen and is highly regarded for its quality and precision. After forging, the process is divided into “rough sharpening" to shape the blade and “finishing sharpening” to further polish the sharpness of the knife after rough sharpening. For single-edged kitchen knives made by Sakai Uchihamono, only one side is sharpened, which requires extremely delicate techniques. The way the blade is attached differs depending on the type of knife and the steel used, and the best sharpening method is applied to each.

Handle

Once the blade is complete, the next step is to attach the handle. The handle is usually made of wood (such as ichii wood or ebony) and determines the balance and feel of the knife. Craftsmen create handles with shapes that are particularly easy to grip, such as octagonal handles, which combine beauty and practicality. At this stage, the balance of the entire knife is finally adjusted.

Carving name

This is the process of carving name of the craftsman or manufacturer on the surface of the blade.
Sakai cutlery knives are stamped with this seal as proof of their quality. Hand-engraved, each knife is unique.
