A colorful microcosm in your hand: Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" series sword-shaped chef's knife, 190mm, Saiu

• Shape (Sword-shaped Gyuto, 190mm): This versatile Gyuto knife has been given a sharp cutting edge reminiscent of a Japanese sword, giving it a "Kengata" (sword-shaped) style. The 190mm size is slightly more compact than the standard size, making it versatile enough to handle everything from the main task of meat dishes to delicate vegetable cutting with its maneuverability. Even in a small cooking space, the sharp cutting edge can be manipulated freely, dramatically increasing the speed and precision of your cooking.
• Pattern (Oak Lacquer, Saiu): Saiu is made from oak, the hardest wood in Japan, and is hand-painted with multiple layers of lacquer by artisans. A fantastical pattern that evokes an infinite expanse emerges from the deep color and luster unique to lacquer. It is truly a small universe that has appeared in the space known as the kitchen. The strong film of lacquer not only maintains a beautiful appearance, but also exhibits excellent waterproof and antibacterial properties, and is durable enough to withstand the heavy use of professionals.
• Blade Material: The core is made of premium stainless steel, V Gold No. 10 (VG-10). It's rust-resistant and maintains a razor-sharp edge for years to come. The elegant ripples of the 33-layer Damascus pattern, combined with the colorful "Saiyu" handle, create a work of art that stimulates the senses every time you hold it.
• Design: The aggressive sword-shaped form and the gleaming handle, the pinnacle of lacquer art, create an overwhelming beauty that transforms your kitchen from a mere cooking space into a sophisticated space that fosters creativity.
