Description & specifications

Sakai Kikumori was established in 1926 by Kawamura Hamono, and has since become known as a top brand from Sakai. They are a relatively small brand, but work with some of the very best local craftsmen in Sakai such as Yoshikazu Tanaka, Satoshi Nakagawa, and Keichi Fuji, just to name a few.

The blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa is a relatively young smith from Sakai, who has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most talented craftsmen in the very famous knife town. He started as an apprentice at Shiraki Hamono at 18 after working at a sushi restaurant that Shiraki-san always visited. Nakagawa apprenticed for 8 years and then took over the forge when Shiraki retired.

Nakagawa is truly skilled and recognized as he can forge everything from white to blue steel, VG stainless, Ginsan, and Smith Mizu Honyaki.
