Description & specifications

Sakai Kikumori was started 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.

Blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa is a relatively young blacksmith from Sakai who has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most talented craftsmen in the famous knife town. He started as an apprentice to Shiraki Hamono, who was 18 years old after working at a sushi restaurant where Shiraki-san always came. Nakagawa was an apprentice 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 Blacksmith Mizu Honyaki.
