Takayuki Sakai | 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Sugihara Model | Sword-Shaped Chef's Knife | 190mm | Desert Ironwood

[Combining wildness and sharpness] Sakai Takayuki's "33-layer hammered Damascus Sugihara Model" series sword-shaped chef's knife, 190mm

• Shape (sword-shaped): The sharp tip of this knife is cut off at an acute angle, giving it a stylish shape known as the "sword-shaped" or "kiritsuke" shape. The sharp tip allows for incredibly smooth and delicate tasks such as slicing through meat or decoratively cutting vegetables.
• Size and Use: With a blade length of 190mm, it is slightly longer than a typical Santoku knife, but more compact than a full-fledged chef's knife (starting at 210mm). Its versatile length makes it easy to handle in a home kitchen, and it can be used to easily cut meat, fish, and vegetables.
• Handle: This special edition was created by Keido Sugihara, a leading custom knife maker. It is made from rare desert ironwood, known as the "jewel of wood." Semi-fossilized in the harsh desert environment, this wood offers incredible durability and a beautiful, polished amber glow, satisfying your desire to own it with every use.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)." It is rust-resistant and maintains a sharp edge for a long time. The "hammered" finish on the blade combines functionality to prevent food from sticking with a rough yet beautiful design.

"I want to have a special knife that's different from others." With Sugihara's artistic handle and an aggressive yet beautiful sword-shaped form, this is the ultimate main knife that will dramatically increase your motivation to stand in the kitchen.
