Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Kasumi White 2 Santoku 180mm.

Sakai Kikumori was started in 1926 by Kawamura Hamono, and since then has become known as a top brand from Sakai. They are a relatively small brand but work with some of the very best local craftsmen in Sakai such as Yoshikazu Tanaka, Satoshi Nakagawa and Keichi Fuji just to name a few.

The knife is forged by the legendary Yoshikazu Tanaka, who is recognized as one of the best blacksmiths in Sakai with over 50 years of experience. Tanaka works with his son in the forge where he focuses exclusively on working with white and blue carbon steel, which he does to perfection with traditional methods such as pine charcoal and rice straw during hardening.

ATTENTION Comes without box as it was a blade we bought on one of our visits to them.

The knife must never be washed in a dishwasher, must not cut into hard objects such as bones, cartilage, bones and frozen objects as well as hard cheeses. Remember that it is a property of thin, hard metal that it can break.
