The Sakura series combines the best characteristics of Japanese and Western-style knives. Nenohi blades offer the durability and sharpness of a traditional Japanese carbon steel knife by using special stainless steel that specializes in sharpness for the "core material", but also are rust-resistant and easier to maintain. The spine and heel, the parts that touch the hand are precisely polished to achieve a stress-free grip and use. Nenohi's knives are hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. You can experience the best performance of the knife immediately after purchase.

The gap between the knife and the handle is filled with the same material (Magnolia wood for magnolia) so that the gap between the handle is beautiful and does not widen even after long use. In addition, soaking waterproof wax into invisible gaps prevents any chance of moisture entering through even a minuscule of spaces, prevents the knife from rusting, and extends the life of the handle.

The gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western chef’s knife but the blade is thinner and holds a sharper edge. Use it for chopping, mincing, and slicing meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit.
