Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer Damascus Oak Lacquer | Japanese Gyuto | 210mm | Burnt Lacquer

[Deepening Astringency and Traditional Oak] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" Series Wagyu Knife, 210mm

• Size and Use (Wagayu Knife, 210mm): This is the most standard size for gyuto (chef's knives), measuring 210mm. The long blade allows you to smoothly cut large ingredients (cabbage, Chinese cabbage, blocks of meat, etc.) in one stroke without having to move the blade repeatedly. The Japanese-style handle makes it extremely lightweight compared to Western knives of the same size, which is a major benefit as it puts less strain on your wrist even when used for long periods of time.
• Handle (oak lacquer, burnt lacquer): The handle is made from oak, known as the hardest wood in Japan, and has a burnt lacquer finish, where skilled craftsmen apply multiple coats of lacquer. The muted, deep color develops a more refined appearance with use, bringing a tranquil elegance to your kitchen. The strong lacquer coating makes it water-resistant, rot-resistant, and extremely durable.
• Blade Material: The core is made of high-quality stainless steel, V Gold No. 10 (VG-10). It is rust-resistant and easy to maintain, yet maintains a sharp edge that can withstand professional use.
• Design: The 33-layer Damascus pattern that spreads across the blade harmonizes with the sophisticated burnt lacquer handle, making it a highly refined Japanese tool.

"I want a tool I can rely on, but ordinary tools are boring." This supreme chef's knife is perfect for those with such a preference, as it is incredibly durable and embodies the good old Japanese aesthetic sense.
