Sakai Kikumori MV series Gyuto 210mm

The Sakai Kikumori MV Series is a practical range of Japanese kitchen knives made in Sakai by Kawamura Hamono. Featuring AUS8 stainless steel blades from Aichi Steel Corporation, the series offers a good balance of sharpness, toughness, edge retention, and rust resistance, while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain.

Designed for everyday kitchen use, the MV Series is well suited to both professional and home cooks. The blades are durable and forgiving, making them less prone to chipping than harder Japanese steels. Finished with comfortable octagonal walnut handles, the knives are lightweight and easy to handle, making them suitable for everything from everyday preparation to more precise cutting tasks.

Care

Wash your knife gently with a soft sponge and dry it thoroughly after use. Store it safely in a protective sheath, knife block, or other suitable storage. Do not use the knife to cut through bones, frozen foods, or hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface

For optimal performance and edge retention, use forgiving cutting surfaces such as wood, rubberized boards, high-quality composite boards, or quality polyethylene cutting boards.

Avoid glass, metal, countertops, and other hard, rigid surfaces, as they can quickly dull or damage the knife’s edge.

Sharpening

For quality Japanese knives, we recommend using whetstones for sharpening. Whetstones provide excellent control and are the preferred method for maintaining a sharp, refined edge.
