About the Maker - Jikko Hamono

Established in 1901 in the Japanese city of Sakai, Jikko Hamono (實光刃物) is considered as one of the top knife manufactures within the region. One of the unique aspects of Jikko’s knives is their “Hatsuke” method. “Hatsuke” is a special finishing method used to give the blades an even finer angle, making their knives even sharper and at the same time allowing the blade to remain sharper for longer.

About the Shape - Sushikiri

The Sushikiri is a specialized Japanese knife that is primarily used for cutting sushi1. The name “Sushikiri” translates to 'sushi slicer’, which perfectly encapsulates its function. This knife is characterized by its long, curved blade. The curvature of the blade is designed to facilitate a rolling motion when cutting, allowing the user to slice through sushi rolls without crushing them.

About the Finish - Kasumi

Kasumi (霞) means "mist" and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge.
