It is an all-purpose kitchen knife such as meat, vegetables, and fish. The size and weight of this knife may vary because each knife is made by a craftsman. The history of blacksmiths in Sakai City, Osaka, dates back to medieval times. Sakai has long been known as a center for commerce and industry in Japan, and its blacksmithing history is a significant part of that legacy. Dating back to the medieval period, Sakai's blacksmiths flourished due to its reputation as a region rich in iron. Responding to the demand from Japan's samurai and their need for swords, armor, and other weapons and protective gear, Sakai's blacksmiths honed their skills. From medieval to early modern times, Sakai's blacksmiths leveraged its convenient location near Osaka Bay for easy transportation by ship, supplying their products nationwide. Abundant resources like iron sand and charcoal, essential materials for sword blades, contributed to the refinement of Sakai's blacksmithing techniques. Entering the Edo period, Sakai, along with Osaka, experienced further development in commerce and industry, with blacksmithing playing a significant role. However, with the onset of modernization in the Meiji era, traditional industries faced decline as industrialization and mechanization took hold.
