What is JIZAKAI?

The “Jizakai” is a “proof of handmade craftsmanship.” There are only a few knife smiths in Sakai who can achieve the “optimal blade attachment.” Knives made from blade attachment have a “Jizakai,” a mark of the forge-welding between soft iron and steel. Occasionally, a slight gap can be seen in this Jizakai, but it is a “proof that the craftsman carefully forge-welded at low temperatures” to enhance the knife’s hardness.

As these are handmade items, the presence or absence of gaps may vary by product. Please purchase only if you understand this.
