Hand forged and ground in Sakai, the Kikuchiyo Manzo series knives from Hitohira represent excellent Sakai craftsmanship. These are characterized by a forging and heat treatment that offers an easy sharpening, good toughness and excellent edge life.
Deep ground ura hollow grind on the inside makes for excellent food release and helps to keep a narrow urasaki throughout the life of the blade and a polished spine and heel are a nice touch.
Manzo, son of famed Sakai sharpener Kambei, carries on the family lineage of extremely high quality wide bevel work. Kambei along with a few other Sakai sharpeners pioneered the style of wide bevel on double bevel knives.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.
Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage. Special attention needs to be taken to prevent edge damage. Scraping, twisting and forceful as well as using on hard or very dense foods can result in chipping.
We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
