The Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Seigaiha Santoku 180mm brings the elegance of this flagship line into a compact, highly versatile format. Featuring a 45-layer Damascus construction over Swedish Bohler N685 stainless steel, the blade showcases the traditional Seigaiha wave pattern—a timeless symbol of calm and continuity paired with modern performance.
With its thin, refined grind, this santoku glides smoothly through vegetables, proteins, and everyday prep with excellent control and minimal resistance. The shorter length offers easy handling and precision, making it a great choice for both home cooks and professionals who prefer a nimble, all-purpose knife. The pakka wood handle with stainless bolster provides a comfortable, balanced feel in hand.
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.
