Description & specifications
Sakai Kikumori has been making knives since 1926, and since then they have become known as a top brand from Sakai. They work with some incredibly skilled blacksmiths and sharpeners who collaboratively create some fantastic products.
The Kikuzuki series is forged by the legendary Yoshikazu Tanaka, who is recognized as one of the best, if not the best, blacksmith in Sakai. It is built in 3 layers with White #2 at the core and a stainless cladding.
It has a very beautiful and rustic kurouchi finish on the top of the blade, and further down starts a very nice grind, which makes the knife very thin behind the edge, and therefore has a fantastic cutting ability.
This chef's knife is a classic all-round tool for chopping and slicing both meat and vegetables, and it is an absolute pleasure to work with.
