Collection: Sakai Knives

Sakai, in Osaka, is Japan's best known knife town. Work is split between specialists: one workshop forges, another sharpens, another fits the handle. It is known for single-bevel knives for professional kitchens.

This collection brings together the Sakai makers we carry: Sakai Kikumori, Sakai Takayuki, Touroku Sakai, Mizuno Tanrenjo, Nakagawa, HADO, Yoshikazu Tanaka, De Sakai, OUL Sakai and Takada no Hamono.
