This uniquely hammer-marked series from Sakai Kikumori is made with stainless cladding and a hard VG10 stainless steel core with an oakwood octagonal handle.  

These are be a great introduction to Japanese knives for those who can follow a few guidelines.  This line would also be an ideal work horse for a busy professional who needs an affordable stainless. The VG10 stainless steel in the core has a nice blend of stain resistance, toughness, and edge life while being ground thin behind the edge for smooth cutting. 

Sakai Kikumori was started in 1926 and draws on Sakai's 600 year history as the major center of traditional Japanese cutlery manufacturing. They work with a large variety of Sakai's best smiths, sharpeners and small factories to offer a wide variety of knives ranging from traditional materials and styles to more modern, western influenced styles and materials.

Actual measurements may vary.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
