SAKAI TAKAYUKI
Sakai Takayuki have been producing hand forged knives in much the same traditional way for more than 600 years. Sakai has always been the home of traditional sword craftsmanship and Sakai Takayuki have grown to become one of the most well known and respected knife makers
East meets West with this beautiful line of hammered Damascus knives. 33 layers of steel are folded and wrapped around a VG10 core to provide a superior cutting experience. VG10 is one of the best steels used for kitchen knives due to its hardness (HRC61) resulting in superior edge retention, sharpness and stain resistance. The layered Damascus steel makes the blade easier to sharpen and provides a shock absorbing element and beautiful aesthetic whilst the exposed edge is the sharpest that can be manufactured. It is hand hammered to further strengthen the blade and each knife is hand sharpened, fitted with a stylish mahogany handle.
A great entry in to the range. This Japanese version of the paring knife has a slightly raised heel and is great for peeling / chopping vegetables

Using a Japanese high carbon steel, each blade is hand forged very carefully to create a masterpiece of "Hagane Hocho" that features durable sharp edge, longer edge retention and easy re-sharpening.
Please note that these are carbon steel blades and they will oxidize over time. This is normal for this type of steel. They will also rust if left wet so dry them after each use. Some users apply a bit of oil to the knife after drying to keep the knife from rusting.
We recommend this series to the professional user who prioritizes "sharpness" over other features.
