About Sadamasa Kajiya - Opened in 1920, Sadamasa is located in the beautiful mountainous area of Chino city, Nagano. Now, the young fourth-generation Yusuke Obi forges, polishes, and sharpens the blades to perfection. His knives are beautifully polished and sharpened, starting with a thick spine that tapers to a nice thin edge. This allows them to glide through food like nothing without feeling too delicate. A nice toothy edge lets them bite into tough vegetable skins effortlessly.
These blades are forged from Aogami #2 with stainless cladding, making them high-performance but relatively low maintenance. The burnt chestnut and water buffalo horn handle is the perfect ribbon on a stunning package.

"I managed to snag one of these bad boys at the garage sale, and man, what a wonderful knife. I’ve been using it for all of my home cooking for a few weeks now, and it has treated me amazingly, all the while having its elegant look. The stainless steel cladding makes this far easier to take care of compared to my other full carbon steel knives, all the while retaining the beautiful lifecycle and performance of carbon steel. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase."
