Exemplifying the pinnacle of craftsmanship, the MITSUMOTO SAKARI Professional Japanese Chef’s Knife is more than just a kitchen tool—it’s a testament to centuries-old Japanese forging traditions blended with modern technological enhancements. This knife represents a labor of love, meticulously hand-forged over 45 days using traditional techniques that highlight the blade's exceptional quality and distinctive pounding texture.
Crafted from ultra-premium 9CR18MOV high carbon steel, the knife delivers unparalleled performance. This steel undergoes rigorous processes, including precise quenching and vacuum cold nitrogen treatment, achieving a hardness of up to 58-62 HRC. This not only boosts the blade’s corrosion resistance and rust prevention but also ensures it remains remarkably tough. The result is a 2.6mm ultra-thin, sharp blade that allows precise cuts, preserving the texture and flavor of the food.
The handle of the knife boasts an ergonomic design made from solid rosewood—a prized summer sourwood from Southeast Asia—offering a comfortable, balanced grip that reduces wrist strain and increases cutting flexibility.
