When it comes to Japanese knives, Sakai comes to mind. This is a dish that has been infused with the skills of a professional chef to create that impression.

The difference from Nakakasumi sharpening is that there is no small distortion in the entire blade, and the shinogi part is straight (easier to sharpen). The sharpness is also good.

This knife is the best sharpened and forged using highly skilled techniques.
In addition, the peaks and jaws are finished to a mirror finish, making the sharpening process pleasant while using it.
Another point is that the ripples are clearly visible.
The steel used is "White No. 3".
The handle is chestnut-shaped and made of burr wood, and has a structure that makes it easy to catch your fingers and grip it.
Also, after many years of use, the buffalo horn will begin to shape into the shape of a hand, making it fit even better in your hand.
