Sakai Takayuki | 33-Layer Hammered Damascus | Sword-Shaped Chef's Knife | 190mm | Mahogany

[Aesthetics of the Cutting Edge] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Hammered Damascus" Series Sword-Shaped Chef's Knife, 190mm

• Uses (Sword-shaped Gyuto 190mm): This knife features a stylish, sharply pointed tip, known as the "sword-shaped" or "kiritsuke-shaped" style. This sharp tip is ideal for detailed work such as slicing meat and cutting vegetables into decorative shapes. The blade length of 190mm is slightly shorter than a typical Gyuto (210mm) and closer in size to a Santoku knife (180mm), making it easy to handle and an excellent length for use in a home kitchen.
• Handle (Mahogany): The handle is made of mahogany, a world-renowned wood also used in luxury furniture and musical instruments. The deep reddish-brown color exudes a luxurious feel, creating a modern atmosphere in your kitchen. It is water-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and its warm texture becomes more comfortable in your hand the more you use it.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)." It combines sharpness with rust resistance, making it the most popular steel for both professional and home use. The 33-layer Damascus pattern on the blade blends beautifully with the mahogany handle, creating a sophisticated Western design.
• Finish (Tsuchime): The surface of the blade has a "Tsuchime" finish, which resembles the texture of a hammer. This beautiful unevenness creates a layer of air between the blade and the food, preventing moist vegetables or fatty meat from sticking to the blade and resulting in an incredibly smooth cutting experience.

"It's a tool you use every day, so it needs to look cool." The functional beauty of the sharp form and Damascus ripples will inspire your cooking and make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable.
