FUGAKU, the premium Honyaki knife series with Mt.Fuji on Wave Art has been newly released by Sakai Takayuki. Moreover, three popular brothers are available in this FUGAKU –  Yanagiba, Sakimaru-Takohiki and Kengata-Yanagiba knives. Please be noted that the leadtime is very unpredictable if the current stock is sold out.

The blacksmith is “Togashi Kenji” in Sakai, known as one of the most acclaimed traditional craftsmen, capable of making water-quenched honyaki knives of superb quality with a Mount Fuji patterned hamon. Their high hardness and excellent heat treatment make them tools fit for the best of cooks and highly sought after collector‘s items.

This mirror finished Shiroko or White Paper (Shirogami) #2 Steel Knife is made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives.
Its blade is made through traditional Water Quenching Honyaki process, so the edge gets very hard and retains its sharpness for a long time.
The honyaki knives cannot be mass-produced. They are primarily for professional chefs and for the most important person because of the highest quality traditional-style Japanese knives.

Again, the blade has a special Mt.Fuji & Full Moon on a long Wave pattern is priceless, because it is made through the Water Quenching Honyaki process by hand. Please be noted that the special pattern is never engraved, nor marked!
Do you know the Mt. Fuji honyaki shadow pattern exists on the back side of the FUGAKU? This is the evidence of what the true honyaki art is.



Speaking to the Ebony Wood handle, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. The double Buffalo Tsuba equipped to both the top & bottom of handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.

It is highly recommended for Perfect Gift as well as for your better cooking experience, but please be noted that the leadtime is very unpredictable if the current stock is sold out.



If you have any question, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thank you for reading and best regards!
