Handcrafted Japanese knives Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Rin

Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Rin Japanese knives are available on this page! These handcrafted knives are as beautiful as they are effective. They are forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka san, a blacksmith renowned for his incomparable expertise. Tanaka san was chosen by the Sakai Kikumori factory because it is committed to offering you knives forged by illustrious craftsmen as well as knives forged by small local factories. Your Kikuzuki Rin knife features a San Maï blade, with 3 superimposed layers of steel, including a core of Japanese Shirogami 2 steel. This typically Japanese alloy has been enriched with carbon to make it stiffer, since a stiffer alloy holds its edge longer and can be sharpened with greater precision. Its nashiji finish gives it an even more authentic feel, providing a rustic, matte finish. The kikuzuki rin knife also features a very traditional-looking handle made from magnolia. This wood is more resistant to humidity, yet pleasant to the touch and lightweight. Finally, a black buffalo horn bolster links the handle to the blade. Your handcrafted Japanese knife is just waiting for you! Use the menu on your left to discover all the other sakai kikumori knife ranges!
