JIKKO

Jikko was established in 1901 in Sakai, located in the Osaka Prefecture. Sakai is famous for the cutlery they produce, and Jikko is considered one of the top knife manufacturers within the Sakai region. One thing that separates their knives from the rest of the manufactures in the region is the “Hatsuke” method. “Hatsuke” is a special finishing method used to give the blades an even finer angle, making their knives even sharper and at the same time allowing the blade to remain sharper for longer.
