Sakai knives have been evolving for the last 600 years. Sakai Kikumori is considered as one of the most prestigious manufacturers collaborating with some of the legends in the area of Sakai like blacksmiths Yoshikazu Tanaka, Shiraki and top Japanese sharpener Morihiro. These kind of top cooperations go back to 1925 when the company Kawamura Hamono started.

The Wasiki Series are made with AUS-8 stainless steel and they feature an octagonal Wa-handle made of Walnut.

One of the most commonly used knives in the kitchen. A small, general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes that also can be used in handheld cuts. The 150mm size can also play the role of a small Gyuto for small everyday cuts. This special petty has a K-tip for even more precise and delicate cuts
