Takayuki Sakai | 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Sugihara Model | Gyuto | 210mm | Desert Ironwood

[Classic 210mm x Supreme Handle] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Hammered Damascus Sugihara Model" Series Chef's Knife 210mm

• Size and Use (210mm): This is the most standard chef's knife and the standard size chosen by professionals and amateurs alike. It's slightly longer than a 180mm Santoku knife, making it easy to cut large vegetables like cabbage and Chinese cabbage, and it can smoothly slice blocks of meat. It's easy to use on a household cutting board, making it a versatile knife that can handle almost any cooking task.
• Handle: This premium handle was crafted by Sugihara Keido, a leading custom knife maker. It is made from desert ironwood, a rare wood known as the "jewel of the desert." This semi-fossilized, high-density wood is not only water-resistant and rot-resistant, but also has just the right amount of weight. This weight creates an excellent balance with the 210mm blade, providing a sense of stability that immediately makes it easy to cut with.
• 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.
• Finish (Hammered): The surface of the blade has a textured, hammered finish. This prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade, allowing for smooth, stress-free chopping. The 33-layer Damascus pattern combined with the amber handle creates a beautiful shine that will elevate your kitchen.

"I want a good knife, but I don't want to make a mistake in choosing the size." For those people, we can confidently recommend this versatile knife, which is the "right choice" in terms of size, sharpness, and beauty, and will last a lifetime.
