The Sakai Takayuki Coreless Damascus range is now available on KnifeLeader.eu! These Japanese kitchen knives are the perfect blend of original design and remarkable efficiency. Your kengata knife features a special "coreless" blade structure: numerous layers of steel are superimposed to form a razor-sharp blade. Unlike standard damascus knives, these Sakai Takayuki knives have no rigid steel core, as the rigid alloy is present directly in the alternating layers of steel. This balances your blade and allows you to benefit from the advantages of the 2 steels combined. Here, Japanese steel VG10 (1% carbon) and VG2 (0.7% carbon) are used to give you a high-performance, long-lasting cutting edge with a high hardness of 60HRC Rockwell. What's more, the blade of your all-purpose knife is entirely covered with damask patterns for a unique visual effect! The handle is made of black micarta for a natural wood look, and has a western shape with a finger rest for a comfortable, ergonomic grip over the long haul. It also features 2 rivets that hold the full tang blade of your Japanese knife securely in place for added reliability. Let yourself be tempted by a damascus knife with an original, practical design!
