Description & specifications
Sakai Kikumori was founded in 1926 by Kawamura Hamono and has since become known as a top brand from Sakai. It is a relatively small brand but collaborates with some of the very best local artisans 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 smiths in Sakai with over 50 years of experience. Tanaka works with his son in the forge where he exclusively focuses on working with white and blue carbon steel, which he perfects using traditional methods like pine charcoal and rice straw during hardening.
