Discover the intricate art of Sakai traditional blade making - the craft behind the renowned Japanese knives. These hammer-forged knives are produced in the cities of Osaka and Sakai, Osaka prefecture, by combining soft iron and steel to create a blade that is both strong and sharp. Unlike the modern stamped-out kitchen knives, Sakai traditional blades are made using a time-honored process that involves hammering the two different types of metal to achieve excellent solidity and long-lasting sharpness.

The making of these knives involves a three-stage process that includes blacksmithing, sharpening, and attaching the handle to maintain the highest quality. With a broad range of knife shapes and sizes, it's no wonder that over 90% of chefs in Japan choose Sakai traditional blades for their kitchen needs.

Join me in exploring the world of Japanese knives and uncovering the intricate craftsmanship behind these magnificent blades. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, these Sakai traditional blades are the perfect addition to your kitchen arsenal. Learn more about the process of making these knives and discover why Sakai traditional blades are a cut above the rest.
