Unlike the knives you find in todays retail stores, every Sakai knife is unique, and specially made. The steel is forged by master blacksmiths which is then shaped and honed with great care to its specialized form. Sakai city is well known for its quality skilled blacksmiths. In the early centuries this city was known for making the best katana for the samurai, and now its making the best quality knives!

Damascus steel is given a wavy pattern by hammer-welding strips of steel and iron, followed by repeated heating and forging, used for these knives, and katana.

The mahogany tree is a tree indigenous to the Americas, bringing something from across the world and combining it with the traditional Japanese skills of blade forgery.
