Authentic Japanese Knives

We offer exclusive retail partnerships with selected stores who share our commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Ichimonji Knives is the official European distributor of Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide, a renowned Japanese brand trusted by Michelin-starred chefs and culinary professionals for over 70 years.
Unlike decorative knives that sacrifice performance for looks, Ichimonji prioritizes function. No excessive Damascus patterns or ornamental handles — just durable, razor-sharp blades designed to work beautifully in a kitchen.
We position our knives between accessible mid-range brands and ultra-premium lines, offering a rare blend of simplicity, quality, and longevity. Our models outperform others like Misono, Tojiro, or Miyabi in edge retention, steel hardness, and balance.

Entry Models and Other Items

At Tohg, I have begun offering select Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide knives designed specifically for the European market. These are design-oriented entry models that combine refined Japanese aesthetics, outstanding sharpness, and reliable quality — all within an accessible price range of €150–€280.
Despite their approachable pricing, they are made with the same craftsmanship and precision that have made Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide a trusted name in Japan for generations. In fact, these models often sell out within days at the brand’s own store.
As the official European distributor and a master sharpener, I personally oversee every knife and provide full service, from supply to after-care. Since I currently work with only a few selected stores, cooperation and restocking are simple and responsive.
