About Houcho.com Sakai Ajimasa, Genuine
This yanagiba style knife is made of genuine white steel, which holds its sharpness for longer, and is delivered from Sakai, a center of traditional swordmaking crafts. The Japanese style knives in the Sakai Ajimasa manufactured genuine white steel series are manufactured with an emphasis on ease of use for artisans such as sushi and traditional Japanese cuisines chefs. Every knife is handmade in a traditional process, forged by Sakai smiths and honed at Ajioka Cutlery. The handle is made of magnolia wood with an inlay of water buffalo horn. Use of buffalo ivory enables the blade to be heated, then thrust into the handle, and as the heat cools, the blade contracts, making it more firmly held in the handle.
