Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer Damascus Oak Lacquer | Sword-shaped Gyuto | 190mm | Burnt Lacquer

[The heat of lacquer dwells in silence] Sakai Takayuki's "33-layer Damascus lacquer" series sword-shaped chef's knife, 190mm, burnt lacquer

• Shape (Sword-shaped Gyuto, 190mm): This sword-shaped form combines the sharp cutting edge of a Japanese sword with the Western Gyuto. At 190mm, slightly shorter than the standard 210mm, it offers the perfect size for both the power to slice through chunks of meat and the precision to carve fine vegetables. Its sharp cutting edge promises an overwhelming cutting experience unmatched by other shapes, whether you're slicing through veins or making decorative cuts.
• Handle (Oak Lacquer, Yakiurushiri): The Yakiurushiri handle is made using traditional lacquering techniques and is based on oak, the hardest wood in Japan. Its unique design features a deep, subdued color with a warm, organic texture. The multi-layered lacquer coating creates a soft texture that becomes more comfortable in the hand with use, while also providing powerful waterproofing and antibacterial properties to protect the wood from harsh environments.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of the highest quality stainless steel, "VG-10." Its rust-resistant, razor-sharp cutting edge lasts for a long time, making it a favorite among many professionals. The elegant ripples created by the 33 layers of Damascus steel, combined with the sophisticated texture of the lacquered handle, maximize the functional beauty of this tool.
• Design: The aggressive sword-shaped silhouette contrasts with the serene yet powerful "baked lacquer" finish. Its appearance in the kitchen goes beyond that of a simple cooking tool, exuding the dignity of a sophisticated piece of "gear" that brings joy to the owner.

"A sharpened sense in one swing of the blade." The strength of high-quality oak and the profound beauty of lacquer create a special, all-purpose chef's knife for those who refuse to compromise on their tools.
