Sakai is Japan's knife capital – a city south of Osaka that for over 600 years has had knife-making as its absolute core competence. Sakai Kikumori is one of the most respected names from this city, and a producer we at Foodgear take great pleasure in representing.

Sakai Kikumori offers an impressively broad range, covering everything from more affordable everyday models to extremely advanced, hand-ground knives in the finest steels. Series such as Kikuzuki, Asagiri, Yogiri and TS10 each represent their own level and aesthetic expression – but all bear the mark of the pride and know-how associated with Sakai's knife tradition.

The knives come in a wide variety of steel types – shirogami (white steel), aogami (blue steel), VG-10, ginsan and more – and in many of the traditional Japanese knife shapes: gyuto, bunka, yanagiba, deba, kiritsuke and nakiri.

Sakai Kikumori is an obvious choice for the knife enthusiast who wants to experience authentic Sakai craftsmanship. Come visit us and let us show you what makes these knives special.
