The Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Seigaiha Gyuto 240mm is the larger, more powerful expression of this refined flagship series. Made by Aoki Hamono in Sakai, Japan, it features Swedish Bohler N685 stainless steel with 45-layer stainless Damascus cladding. The flowing Seigaiha wave pattern blends traditional Japanese design with modern stainless performance, giving the knife a distinctive look without sacrificing everyday practicality.
The longer 240mm blade provides excellent draw length and efficiency for slicing proteins, cutting vegetables, and handling larger prep work. The thin, refined grind reduces resistance and helps the knife move smoothly through food with clean, precise cuts. Despite its size, it feels well balanced and responsive on the board, while the black pakka wood handle and stainless bolster offer a comfortable Western-style grip for extended use.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Do not put in the dishwasher. Use a soft cutting board and avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces to protect the edge.
