Sakai Soichi knives carry a classic charm, crafted in Sakai, Osaka, not far from the well-known Sakai Museum where the city’s blade-making heritage is preserved. Their pieces use steels like Aogami Super, AUS8, and VG10 Nickel Damascus, each giving the knives a distinct character. Aogami Super offers that timeless razor-sharp edge many chefs appreciate, AUS8 brings an easygoing reliability for everyday cooking, and VG10 Nickel Damascus adds a refined, elegant touch with its layered finish. Together, these knives reflect the quiet tradition of Sakai craftsmanship while still feeling warm, approachable, and made for real daily use.
