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

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

• Size and Use (Japanese Gyuto Knife, 210mm): This is the most standard size for chef's knives (gyuto). With a blade longer than a Santoku knife, it can slice through large vegetables like cabbage and Chinese cabbage in one stroke, and it also makes slicing blocks of meat easier. Because it features a Japanese-style handle, it is lighter and has a better center of gravity than typical Western-style gyuto knives, making it easy to use and less noticeable for its length of 210mm.
• Handle (Oak Lacquer, Saiu): This handle is made from oak, which is said to be the hardest wood in Japan, and is painstakingly coated with layers of lacquer by skilled craftsmen. Saiu is characterized by its deep luster and complex colors, created by the multiple layers of lacquer. In addition to its beauty, the strong lacquer coating makes it water-resistant, rot-resistant, and boasts the highest level of hygiene.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)." It is rust-resistant and maintains a razor-sharp edge for a long time.
• Design: The 33-layer Damascus pattern that spreads across the blade and the colorful lacquered handle combine to create a work of art that goes beyond being a simple cooking tool.

"I want to use a genuine chef's knife, but I don't want to choose a tool that looks clunky." This supreme chef's knife combines the strength of sturdy oak with the beauty of lacquer, and is dedicated to those with such a high aesthetic sense.
