Sakai Takayuki | 33-Layer Hammered Damascus | Gyuto | 210mm | Mahogany

【The Ideal Standard】Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Gyuto (Chef's Knife) 210mm

Usage (Gyuto 210mm): The 210mm is considered the "golden size" among Gyuto (Chef’s Knives)—the most beloved blade shape for chefs worldwide. It perfectly bridges the gap between serious home cooking and professional use. Slightly longer than a Santoku and featuring a sharper tip, this single knife handles everything from carving large cuts of meat and pull-slicing fish to precision vegetable prep. The effortless glide during a pull-cut, made possible by its ideal length, offers a level of versatility you won't want to live without.

Handle (Mahogany): The handle is crafted from Mahogany, a premium wood prized for high-end furniture and musical instruments. Its beautiful reddish-brown hue deepens over time, offering the joy of developing a unique character through years of use. Exceptionally durable, water-resistant, and corrosion-proof, its warm texture provides a stable grip that feels as if it adheres to your palm, allowing you to maneuver the 210mm blade with total confidence.

Blade Material: The core is forged from high-grade VG-10 stainless steel, achieving a razor-sharp edge that preserves the delicate fibers of your ingredients while offering superior rust resistance. The 33-layer Damascus pattern flowing across the blade harmonizes beautifully with the classic mahogany handle, lending a sophisticated and professional aesthetic to your kitchen.

Finish (Tsuchime - Hammered): The blade surface features a hand-crafted "Tsuchime" (hammered) finish, a testament to artisan skill. These precise indentations create a layer of air between the steel and the food, preventing fatty meats or moist vegetables from sticking to the blade. This ensures ingredients release effortlessly, allowing for incredibly fast, light, and rhythmic slicing without interruption.

"A Partner for a Lifetime" For those who find 180mm not quite enough but 240mm a bit too large, this is the perfect choice. Fusing functional beauty with ultimate practicality, this is the definitive knife that guarantees satisfaction.
