The chef knife is a versatile model that allows you to make a wide range of cuts! For example, you can slice your vegetables, mince your meat or chop your herbs with ease. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash or bones.
This Japanese knife features a damascened blade: a technique that consists of forging a rigid steel core which is then covered with several layers of softer steel. This process protects the core of your blade while optimally balancing its hardness.
The core of this blade is Japanese Super Gold Strix (also known as SPG Strix), produced by the renowned Takefu Special Steel, renowned for its quality alloys. This powder-metallurgy steel achieves a hardness of 65HRC on the Rockwell scale: a damascus knife with a powerful, long-lasting cutting edge!
Note also that, despite its hardness, this steel is relatively easy to sharpen with a stone when the need arises. So you can space out sharpening sessions and maintain a razor-sharp edge when needed.
Another advantage of SPG Strix powdered steel is its micro-structure. Indeed, it is considered pure because its structure is homogeneous due to the uniform distribution of micro-carbides. This makes it more resistant to micro-cracks and wear.
To complete the damascus finish, several layers of softer stainless steel are added around the core. These layers add suppleness to your blade (without making it flexible), and improve the impact resistance of your damascus knife. Damascus not only has a practical advantage, it's also a real visual one! You can see the superimposition of different steels all over the blade's surface. It forms fine waves with random patterns for an elegant look on your Japanese kitchen knife.
For an even more refined effect, the blade of your Sakai Takayuki knife has been polished to a satin finish. Kanjis have also been engraved for an extra touch of authenticity.
The handle of your Japanese chef's knife is made of teak wood, a robust and durable exotic species. This wood has a homogeneous structure that is highly resistant to temperature variations and humidity, to prevent warping. Its warm-toned color is appreciated for its warm visual appeal!
To complete the handle, an ebony bolster has been added. It adds character and balance to your handcrafted Japanese knife.
With its octagonal shape, this kitchen knife is suitable for both right- and left-handed cooks! You'll benefit from an ergonomic grip for optimum comfort of use, especially during long cooking sessions.
Finally, wood putty is added where the blade joins the handle to fill any small gaps. This ensures a watertight seal and prevents water or small food items from seeping inside.
To care for your gyuto knife, wash only by hand with a non-abrasive sponge, avoiding wetting the handle. Once cleaned, wipe dry immediately to remove all moisture and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
