[Holding a jewel, cutting your ideal] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" Sword-Shaped Chef's Knife, 190mm

• Shape (Sword-shaped Gyuto knife, 190mm): This sword-shaped style combines the convenience of a chef's knife beloved in Europe with the sharp cutting edge of a Japanese sword. The 190mm size is slightly more compact than the 210mm, and its exquisite design makes it perfect for cutting meat and fish, as well as for delicate tasks in tight spaces. Its aggressive form makes it a powerful presence in any cooking situation, from professional use to the finest home cooking.
• Handle (oak lacquer, colored stone): Made from oak, said to be the hardest wood in Japan, the handle is truly a work of art, with skilled craftsmen painstakingly applying layers of lacquer. As its name suggests, "colored stone" expresses the mysterious luster of beautiful minerals. The unique patterns created by the layers of lacquer on each handle give it a one-of-a-kind brilliance, with no two being alike. The strong lacquer coating not only adds to its design, but also provides high water resistance and anti-corrosion properties, preserving its beauty even after years of use.
• Blade Material: The core is made of high-quality stainless steel, "VG-10." It's rust-resistant and maintains its razor-sharp edge for an astonishingly long time. The ripples of the 33-layer Damascus pattern harmonize with the sparkle of the colored stone handle, completing the ultimate in beauty.
• Design: With a sharp, sword-shaped blade and a handle that displays jewel-like coloring, this knife combines the polar opposites of sharpness and beauty, transforming the kitchen space into one that is luxurious just by placing it there.

"A tool that demands efficiency, but with beauty that stirs the senses." The strength of solid oak and traditional beauty like a jewel. This is a top-notch all-purpose chef's knife that will make you feel proud every time you hold it.
