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 - Yanagiba

The Yanagiba (柳刃) is a traditional-style Japanese sashimi knife with a thin and long blade that is mainly used to slice boneless fish fillets for sashimi or nigiri sushi.

About the Steel - Shirogami #3

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Shirogami (White) No. 3 has a lower carbon content, making it softer and easier to sharpen. It rates at 58–61 HRC.

About the Finish - Mirror

Mirror finish refers to a blade that has been polished to such a high degree that it reflects light, similar to a mirror. This type of finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the knife but also provides practical benefits. It reduces drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The mirror finish is achieved through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing, resulting in a blade with a smooth, shiny, and reflective surface.
