Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer Damascus Oak Lacquer | Sword-shaped Santoku Knife | 160mm | Burnt Lacquer

[Like a sword with a refined finish] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" series sword-shaped Santoku knife, 160mm

• Shape (Sword-shaped, 160mm): This style is known as a "Sword-shaped Santoku" (also known as a "Bunka Bocho"), with a sharply angled cutting edge. While retaining the versatility of a standard Santoku knife, the sharp tip makes it much easier to perform detailed tasks such as slicing through meat or slicing vegetables decoratively. The 160mm size allows for easy maneuverability, making it comfortable to use even in a small kitchen.
• Handle (oak lacquer, burnt lacquer): The handle is made from oak, known as the hardest wood in Japan, and is finished with burnt lacquer by skilled craftsmen, who apply layers of lacquer. The deep, muted color develops a richer character with use, bringing the elegance of good old Japanese tools to your kitchen. Of course, the strong lacquer coating makes it water-resistant, rot-resistant, and extremely durable.
• 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 elegance of the 33-layer Damascus pattern and the sophisticated presence of the burnt lacquer handle, combined with the sword-shaped form, give this tool a dignified allure despite being a practical tool.

This is a special piece that combines the strength of high-quality oak wood with deep, traditional beauty to meet the most demanding demands.
