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

Holding a jewel, wielding a sword: Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Oak Lacquer" 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, colored stone): This artistic handle is made from oak, said to be the hardest wood in Japan, and has been painstakingly coated with layers of lacquer by skilled craftsmen. As its name suggests, "colored stone" is characterized by its deep, complex color and luster, like a beautiful mineral. The lacquer pattern, which shows a different expression on each handle, is truly a one-of-a-kind piece. Of course, the strong lacquer coating makes it water-resistant and rot-resistant, maintaining its beauty for a long time.
• 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 combination of the elegance of the 33-layer Damascus pattern and the colorful "Saiseki" handle, plus the aggressive sword-shaped form, adds a touch of luxury to any kitchen space just by placing it there.

"We want to make time in the kitchen more exciting." This is the ultimate all-purpose knife for those who want it all: the strength of high-quality oak, traditional jewel-like beauty, and the sharpness of a sword.
