Sakai Takayuki | Coreless Damascus | Sword-Shaped Santoku Knife | 160mm | Micarta

[A Revolution in Cutlery] Sakai Takayuki's Coreless Construction Delivers Ultimate Sharpness: Sword-Shaped Santoku Knife, 160mm (Black Micarta Handle)

• Uses: This versatile knife can be used to cut a wide range of ingredients, including meat, fish, and vegetables, but it is characterized by its sharp, "sword-shaped" (bunka) knife shape. Its cutting edge is easier to use for detailed work than a regular Santoku knife, and it can be used to smoothly cut meat and decoratively cut vegetables. Its 160mm length makes it easy to handle and is a very convenient length for home use.
• Innovative "Coreless" Structure: Unlike most knives, this blade does not have a "core" like most knives. Instead, it is made up of dozens of alternating layers of high-hardness "VG-10" and resilient "VG-2" steel, making the entire blade the cutting edge of this revolutionary structure. The combined properties of these two steels create an ideal blade that is "resistant to breakage and maintains an incredibly long-lasting sharpness."
• Design: The Damascus pattern, created by the intricate interweaving of different steel materials, is unique and mysteriously beautiful. Combined with the sharp sword-shaped design, it creates an overwhelming sense of individuality in the kitchen.
• Handle: The handle is made of black Micarta, a durable material made by molding resin under high pressure. The canvas layer makes it non-slip and virtually resistant to deterioration from water and temperature changes, making it suitable for years of reliable use even in the harshest professional environments.

"I don't want to compromise on appearance, sharpness, or durability." This is the next generation all-purpose knife for discerning cooks.
