The Jikko Knife "Standard Series" uses Japanese steel that has long been used for Japanese kitchen knives. The series is the most standard class among our authentic Japanese knives.
Although it is a standard class, the honbazuke (grinding the real edge) is hand ground by a professional craftsman, giving it outstanding sharpness. It is recommended not only for skilled chefs but also for anyone buying a Japanese kitchen knife for the first time.

Handle - Magnolia wood and plastic grip with branding iron
White steel (also known as “Shirogami”) is used for cutlery products that can be sharpened to an excellent edge with good quality natural stones. It is a carbon steel with only very small amounts of the impurities.
It has a very narrow range of temperatures for hardening (Yakiire and quenching), and thus requires the blacksmith to be very skilled.
High grade material ”Ginsan” is originated from Yasuki Hagane commercialised by Hitachi Metals,Ltd. This over 1000 year-traditional ironmaking method is called Tatara, which refines iron sand into Tamahagane (mostly used in sword blades).
These days, “Ginsan” is commonly used in high grade cutlery products and preferred by a number of professional chefs. It contains more than 12% of Chromium that makes superb sharpness and durability. It is comparable to some high grade carbon steels such as Blue steel and white steel but far more rust resistant.

3 Simple Steps to keep your carbon steel knives away from rust and in a good condition.
Always wash the knife after use. Use cleanser if you have one.
Pour boiling water onto the knife, then dry with wiping cloth.
Rub with vegetable oil and wipe it with tissue paper, this is to prevent the knife having direct contact to the air.
For everyday use you can apply step 1 and 2 only. However if you store the knife for a long period including step 3 is recommended.

Customer Reviews of Jikko Knives
I've been on the lookout for a quality knife for some time and over the years I purchased quite a few - none of them perfect. The Sakai Jikko "Mille-Feuille" Santoku-17 Layer Damascus with Hammered Finish (18cm) is in a different league however. It's very very sharp, it has a lovely weight and feel and it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. An ideal gift for the enthusiastic home chef.
ー Paul Morrison, WA
I purchased a Sakai Jikko "Mille-Feuille" Santoku Knife as a gift for a friend and chose to get it engraved as well. The great looking knife arrived on time and impeccably sharp. Hiroki was incredibly responsive and helpful in replying to a couple of emails. Thank you. I would definitely shop here again.
ー Douglas Brown, ACT
We just received a Sakai Jikko "Gyuto" Chef's Knife Damascus with hammered finish (21cm) and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a work of art and the blade and handle are a masterpiece. We are very excited to give this knife as a gift to my fiance's best man. Thank you so much for your efficiency and service and we look forward to buying more knifes from you in the future. Lindsey and Shaun
ー Lindsey Marchant, QLD
I bought a couple of Sakai Jikko knives from Kaz and absolutely love them. They feel great and are as sharp as a tack. I got the chef knife engraved and the quality is brilliant. The knives were delivered very quickly and very well presented too. Highly recommended these guys.
ー Ben Stoddart, WA
Even my wife was impressed by how beautiful the 17 layer Damascus blade chefs knife is , from the blade to the handle, a work of art that is more impressive in person than in the photos. I love how balanced and sharp the 240mm knife is and how it performs on the soggy tomato test, just brilliant. Hand crafted in centuries old tradition, these have to be the best value for money around.
Final comment from my wife, its so good, it needs a partner, so looks like another purchase.
PS wonderfull people to deal with, went out of their way to make my birthday present special.
ー Yogi Beare, VIC
Bought 2 Jikko Nakiri Knives, one to add to my small collection of Japanese knives and one as a Xmas gift. The knife was very sharp out of the box and had great food release from the hammered pattern.
Sakai Jikko Damascus Series are a great first Japanese knife to own, for its easy for maintenance and sharpness retention.

Three merits to have good, quality kitchen knives
1. Better sharpness
Improving the cut quality of the kitchen knife, we can promise that "your cooking will be more delicious", "your cooking time will be reduced", and "cooking will be more fun".
2. It is easy to re-sharpen
Since quality kitchen knives do not have distortion, sharpening will become easier. Just as important as the cut quality of a kitchen knife is that it is easy to sharpen.
3. It retains its sharpness for longer
If you use quality kitchen knives, you can extend the intervals between when you need to re-sharpen.
