One of the most popular and best-selling series of kitchen knives from Sakai Kikumori is Nihonko. Each knife is made of Japanese carbon steel, with a carbon content of 0.95%. During production, the steel undergoes heat treatment, resulting in a hardness of 63 HRC. It is worth mentioning that Nihonko knife blades are made from a single piece of steel – so-called mono-steel. Thanks to the steel used, Nihonko knives can be easily sharpened, and in addition, they retain their sharpness for a long time. They are recommended primarily for professional chefs, but they are also perfect for home kitchens. They will appeal to anyone who demands functionality and excellent performance from a kitchen knife. The knife handles are made of Pakka wood and have an ergonomic shape, ensuring comfort during use. After use, the knives should be washed and dried (the steel they are made of is not stainless).
