This manufacturer's popular products are designed for professionals and cooking enthusiasts – anyone who cares about extremely functional kitchen knives that stay sharp for a very long time. Sakai Kikumori Nihonko knives are made of Japanese carbon steel, with a carbon content of 0.95%, which is heat treated to a high hardness of 63 HRC. The special method of blade production, using the mono-steel technique, means that each blade is made from a single piece of steel. Kitchen knives from the Nihonko series are easy to sharpen and retain their sharpness for a long time. They have an ergonomic handle made of durable Pakka wood. After each use, it is recommended to wash and dry Sakai Kikumori Nihonko knives (this is important because these knives are not stainless).

Sakai Kikumori is undoubtedly one of the best manufacturers of Japanese kitchen knives. Their wide range of excellent knives for professional use enjoys well-deserved popularity. Their uniqueness stems from many years of craftsmanship tradition – the brand was founded in 1926, already drawing on 600 years of knife-making tradition in Sakai.
