This is a new line of knives we have started carrying from Sakai Takayuki. Sakai Takayuki was established in 1946, and has since become one of the biggest manufacturers of Japanese knives in the world. Their products come from the origins of sword making in Sakai, Japan, the history of which stretches back nearly 800 years.
The blade is constructed from Aogami Super high carbon steel, which has been hammer forged with an outer layer of stainless steel. The cladding is given a hammer finish, and the carbon forging scale has been kept to enhance the look and aid with food release. The great looking blade is coupled to a maple octagonal handle.Maker: Sakai Takayuki
