Made in Sakai, Japan, by the world-renowned Sakai Takayuki workshop (Aoki Hamono), this knife exemplifies the quality that has made their blades globally sought-after.
The blade combines an SG2 steel core—delivering exceptional edge retention—with a stainless Damascus cladding, creating both performance and visual appeal. Its surface is adorned with a shiny circular tsuchime pattern, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Despite its acute grind for sharpness, the knife is heavier than average knives and has a good hand balance.
The Japanese rosewood handle, reinforced with a pakka wood ferrule, offers understated durability. Whether for daily home cooking or professional kitchen demands, this knife is built to excel.
