Sakai Takayuki | 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Sugihara Model | Sword-Shaped Santoku Knife | 160mm | Desert Ironwood

[The epitome of functional beauty] Sakai Takayuki's "33-layer hammered Damascus Sugihara Model" series sword-shaped Santoku knife, 160mm

• Shape (Sword-shaped, 160mm): This style features a sharply pointed blade, known as a "Sword-shaped Santoku" (also known as a "Bunka Bocho" or "Culture knife"). 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: This special edition was created by Keido Sugihara, a leading custom knife maker. It is crafted from the rare desert ironwood, known as the "jewel of the desert." This semi-fossilized, high-density wood is incredibly durable, water-resistant, and rot-resistant, and has a polished amber sheen that will satisfy your desire to own it every time you use it.
• 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 hammered finish on the blade surface prevents food from sticking. The combination of the 33-layer Damascus pattern, the sharp sword-shaped silhouette, and the solid ironwood handle boasts an outstanding design that will stand out in any modern kitchen.

"A regular Santoku knife just isn't enough." This special all-purpose knife combines sharp cutting edge and sophisticated looks, and is perfect for those who are particular about their work.
