Takayuki Grand Chef knives are made with the highly regarded Bohler N690 stainless steel, produced by Bohler-Uddeholm and prized for some of the lowest impurities of any stainless steel on the market. The quality iron used in N690 is excavated from company mines with an exceptionally low phosphorus and sulfur content, resulting in a steel regarded as one of the finest in the world for cutlery use.
While mono steel knives lack the handmade look of forged, layered blades, they make up for it with precision, consistency, and durability. The fully stainless construction makes them genuinely easy to maintain, an essential quality in busy home or professional kitchens. This Western-handled version of the 270mm sujihiki pairs the same N690 core with a POM grip rather than the traditional ho wood handle, a familiar feel for cooks coming from European-style knives. Being double sided, it is far easier to sharpen than a traditional single bevel slicer and suits both left- and right-handed cooks.
Care Instructions: Bohler N690 is a fully stainless steel - hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between sharpenings.
