This is a traditional characteristic of Sakai cutlery, recognition of which has resulted in designation as a traditional craft product by the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.

In the forging process, the hardness as well as the stickiness of steel are improved in order to make the knife sharp and difficult to chip. There are technical processes such as Hagane-zuke (forging 2 kinds of steel - soft steel and steel), Yaki-Namashi (slowly annealing hot knife-shaped steel), Yaki-ire (immediately chilling steel in the water right after heating it to 780 - 800 degrees), and Yaki-Modoshi (heating steel to 160 - 180 degrees again in the furnace). In this way, the process of making each product requires very difficult and professional techniques which only experienced craftsmen can perform.
