Forged by the legendary Yoshikazu Ikeda in Sakai, this White #1 Mizu-Honyaki Sakimaru Takohiki is the pinnacle of Japanese single-bevel craftsmanship. At an impressive 330mm, this rare blade combines elegance, precision, and the unmistakable spirit of true Sakai artistry.

Crafted entirely from White #1 carbon steel, the blade undergoes the traditional mizu-honyaki (water-quenching) process, producing extraordinary hardness and a razor-sharp edge that glides effortlessly through sashimi and sushi. The mirror finish reveals a breathtaking Fujisan hamon—a mountain-shaped temper line that symbolizes harmony and the craftsman’s devotion to perfection.

The long, graceful sakimaru profile is both functional and poetic, merging the aesthetic lineage of the Japanese sword with the finesse required for professional sushi preparation. Complementing this masterpiece is a dyed and stabilized curly maple saya and a matching slim octagonal handle, each fitted with a refined square mosaic pin—an elegant fusion of traditional and modern artistry.

More than just a knife, this is a collector’s treasure that embodies the height of Sakai’s honyaki tradition—crafted by a living legend, and available exclusively from K&S.
