Yukihiro Sakai-san apprenticed in Kumamoto under Nishida-san, a steadfast traditionalist who only forges and welds his steel in-house. Sakai-san owes everything to Nishida-san and carries on the knife-making tradition that were passed down to him by his sensei. After many years of apprenticeship, he opened his own workshop where he forge-welds everything in-house.

Shirogami#1 is a steel that can get very sharp and keeps its edge well. It is a favorite of blacksmiths who make tools in the old-fashioned way; it has an amazing level of sharpness and keeps its edge well.

The performance of Hinokuni knives is unparalleled despite their affordable price tag.
