Make a statement in your kitchen with a knife from this legendary brand. With a commitment to quality and tradition, a Sakai Takayuki knife is more than just a tool - it's a piece of history. Order now and experience the timeless beauty and performance of a true classic.
The knife featured here is a kengata, which translates as "sword-like" and its reverse tanto tip gives the knife that very particular weapon-like look. The blade is made with a core of Aogami Super high carbon steel, which is then hammer forged to a cladding of stainless steel in the san-mai style of forge welding. The strong outer layer is given a hammer finish, while the carbon forging scale has been kept on the blade for that very cool kurouchi look.
Because it is a stainless cladding, maintenance is kept to a minimum; rinse the blade and dry it after use. A nice-looking maple octagonal handle completes this great-looking package.Maker: Sakai Takayuki
