Sakai Knives

During my first trip to Japan I was able to source these excellent knives from Sakai. They offer excellent quality and a reasonable price and are made with white #2 steel clad with soft iron. The knives are made in the traditional Sakai method using a small, specialized blacksmith shop and a equally specialized knife sharpener to finish the blades. Then, they are sent off to a handle maker and engraver to finish the knives according to my specifications. The engraving is in Kanji and done by hand. It says "Mark" on the front of each blade.

I just feel compelled to tell you that yours is the most ridiculously informative site of this nature I have ever come across.

Mark is great at answering questions for knife nuts of all levels. His service is second to none. Really appreciate the time he puts into every email as well as the free forum he hosts.

Great experience working with Chef Knives to Go. Quick delivery, and they are great about returning emails. I'm actually waiting on my second knife from them. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Very grateful such a dedicated and informative group of people provide excellent steel at competitive prices with superior customer service! A million thank yous!
