The Sakon Ginga series, made in Japan by Hokiyama, combines the precision of Ginsan #3 Silver steel with a beautiful Nashiji look of the 405 Stainless Steel Clad. Featuring a custom colorful stabilized wood handle, these knives offer incredible value with a stunning pear skin finish. Hardened to 61 HRC, they strike the perfect balance—tough enough to hold a sharp edge, yet not so brittle. Thin behind the edge and ready to tackle any task, these knives are as reliable as they are beautiful.

Kiritsuke are known as a multipurpose traditional Japanese chef knife. A Kiritsuke is visually appealing due to its unique shape and extremely popular as a primary knife in any kitchen to cut meats, vegetables, fruits and many more. Several makers now produce double-bevel Kiritsukes, often called Kiritsuke Gyutos which are ideal for users who appreciate the striking aesthetics of the profile but need the added versatility and ease of sharpening of a double bevel grind.

Traditionally, these knives were only used by the Executive Chefs as a symbol of status.
