[Traditional Beauty Reflecting the Night Sky] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" Series Japanese Santoku Knife, 170mm

• Handle (Oak Lacquer, Seiren): This luxurious handle is made from oak, said to be the hardest wood in Japan, and has been repeatedly coated with lacquer by skilled craftsmen. The Seiren model has a beautiful finish in which a unique nebula-like pattern emerges from the deep, glossy color of the lacquer. Lacquer has strong waterproof, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties, making it resistant to rot even when used around water, ensuring hygienic long-term use.
• Use (Japanese Santoku, 170mm): This versatile Santoku knife can be used to cut any kind of food, including meat, fish, and vegetables. The 170mm blade length is the standard size for Japanese households. The lightweight Japanese-style handle ensures that the center of gravity is not too close to the grip, allowing you to use the weight of the knife to slice smoothly.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)." It is rust-resistant and maintains a professional-grade sharpness for a long time.
• Design: The blade is beautifully decorated with 33 layers of Damascus pattern, and combined with the lacquered "star pattern" handle, it exudes a presence that goes beyond that of a mere tool and is like a work of art.

"It's something you use every day, so it should be a tool that enriches your soul." Made from sturdy oak and finished with elegant lacquer, it's a beautiful all-purpose knife that embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
