Sakai Takayuki | Chef's Japanese Knife | Thin Blade Knife | 210mm

Rust-Resistant Authentic Japanese Knife: Chef's Knife, Thin Blade, 210mm, Made with Ginsan Steel and an Octagonal Magnolia Handle

• Use: A large vegetable knife with a blade length of 210mm. It can slice through large vegetables like Chinese cabbage and cabbage in one go, and is a size preferred by professional chefs who use the length of the blade to perform rhythmic "peeling" (peeling). Another benefit of the long blade is that it can be used over a long period of time while sharpening.
• Material: Made using the same manufacturing method as traditional Japanese knives, the steel used is Hitachi Metals' rust-resistant "Ginsanko." It resists rust even when cooking vegetables that are constantly wet, and prevents discoloration and metallic flavors from transferring to ingredients, making it a valuable tool for delicate Kyoto cuisine and kaiseki cuisine.
• Handle: The octagonal handle is made from simple, pleasant-to-the-touch magnolia wood. The corners make it easy to grip even with wet hands, and the shape makes it easy to control the weight of the large knife.

"I prepare a large amount of vegetables, but I absolutely want to avoid discoloration due to rust." This is a reliable knife with the ultimate in sharpness and practicality that meets the strict demands of such professional workplaces.
