Sending handmade“Sakai” knives to the world

Sakai Hocho (Sakai Knives) in Sakai, Osaka, have gained much trust by many Japanese cuisine chefs. All the processes are done by hand by craftsmen, and the area is famous for its “single-edged knives,” which require particularly advanced techniques. Jikko Hamono, founded in Sakai in 1900, offers knives for all kinds of uses.Both the Sendo-cho store and the Nishiki-dera store carry 100 types of knives, as well as high-end knives called “hon-yaki” and customizable blades and handles. Regular knives need to be sharpened before use, but since Jitsumitsu Hamono is a company that specializes in sharpening, they can be sold already sharpened, which is a unique feature. These “ready-to-use knives” are popular with tourists.
