The Sayuto Rekka VG10 15.5 cm hammered-finish utility knife with a ziricote handle combines precision cutting with carefully selected materials! With its hammered blade featuring unique patterns and its dark wooden handle with a refined finish, it immediately catches the eye.
A hammered VG10 blade that’s as precise as it is elegant
This utility knife features a 15.5 cm blade with a core of VG10 stainless steel, a Japanese steel highly prized in cutlery for its cutting quality and excellent corrosion resistance.
Its composition contains approximately 1% carbon, which results in high hardness after heat treatment. VG10 also contains chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt—elements that contribute to its cutting performance and wear resistance.
With a hardness of 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, this blade effectively retains its edge over repeated use. It allows for clean, consistent cuts without the need for frequent sharpening when used properly.
The VG10 core is encased in a Damascus steel cladding, characterized by its wavy patterns and layered steel that lend the blade a refined aesthetic. This multi-layered construction combines the cutting qualities of VG10 with the visual appeal of Damascus steel.
The surface features a hammered finish with unique patterns, consisting of irregular reliefs that subtly catch the light. The combination of Damascus steel and the hammered finish gives this blade a striking visual identity! The raised patterns can also locally limit contact between certain foods and the blade, making it easier to release them during preparation.
Thanks to its universal size, this knife is equally suited to precise cutting as it is to everyday tasks requiring a longer blade than a traditional paring knife.
A black ziricote handle with refined finishes
The elegance of this knife extends to its black ziricote wood handle, a wood prized for its deep hues and contrasting grain patterns.
Ziricote naturally features dark hues, sometimes interspersed with brown or grayish lines that form organic patterns. Each handle thus has its own distinctive visual character, as the variations in the wood make its grain unique.
Beyond its appearance, this material feels pleasant to the touch. Its natural texture provides a warm sensation that contrasts with the metallic look of the blade.
The handle has an octagonal shape; its eight sides ensure a secure grip and make it easy to position your fingers. This design works equally well for both right- and left-handed users and promotes precise control of movements while cutting.
A mosaic rivet placed in the center of the handle enhances its aesthetic appeal. With its decorative arrangement of metallic motifs, it serves as a refined visual detail that harmoniously complements the grain of the ziricote.
Finally, two stainless steel rings, positioned at the ferrule and the butt of the handle, highlight the ends of the wood. They create an elegant transition between the materials and provide a polished finish to the overall design.
The combination of black ziricote, the mosaic rivet, and the stainless steel elements gives this knife a bold look that is both traditional and contemporary!

How do you care for a Sayuto knife?
To maintain your knife’s performance, use a wooden or soft plastic cutting board. Avoid hard surfaces such as glass, marble, or ceramic, which could damage the blade.
Wash your knife by hand with a soft sponge and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately with a clean cloth. Do not put it in the dishwasher, especially to preserve the ziricote wood.
Avoid cutting bones or frozen foods, and do not twist the blade. To maintain its sharpness, use a whetstone suitable for Japanese steel.
