The Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Seigaiha Gyuto 240mm is the larger, more powerful expression of this flagship series, built for serious prep and high-volume work. Featuring a 45-layer Damascus construction over Swedish Bohler N685 stainless steel, the blade showcases the flowing Seigaiha wave pattern—blending traditional Japanese design with modern performance.
The longer blade length provides excellent draw length and efficiency for slicing proteins and handling larger ingredients, while the thin, refined grind reduces resistance and delivers smooth, precise cuts. Despite its size, the knife feels well-balanced and responsive on the board. The pakka wood handle with stainless bolster offers a comfortable, secure 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.
