Founded in the 1950s, Sakai Takayuki is located in the town of Sakai, which is renowned in the Japanese cutlery industry, and from which it takes its name. Sakai was historically known for the manufacture of samurai katanas.
Sakai Takayuki inherited these traditions in order to develop new techniques used today. Drawing on this expertise and know-how, the company offers high-quality Japanese knives that are suitable for both chefs and private customers.
This Universal knife features an ergonomic, Western-style handle for optimum grip. The handle is fitted with a finger rest at the base, offering great comfort, especially during prolonged use.
Made from Spanish mahogany wood, the handle has a reddish-brown hue and is renowned for its durability. As the wood is natural, the veins on the surface of the handle are unique to each piece. Although mahogany is lightweight, it is impact-resistant and protected by a layer of transparent woodstain.
A stainless steel bolster connects the blade to the handle, and 3 rivets, also in stainless steel, secure the handle to the full tang blade. This is a Japanese knife that offers you great reliability!
This Sakai Takayuki knife features a damascus-patterned blade, which means it's made of a rigid alloy core covered with alternating layers of softer steel. The damascus pattern gives the blade a unique aesthetic.
The damascus pattern is not only aesthetically pleasing, it also ensures optimum balance for your blade. The core is made of ice-hardened VG10 steel, a high-quality Japanese alloy with around 1% carbon. The high carbon content increases the alloy's hardness, and this high hardness combined with low-temperature hardening enables the blade to reach 60HRC on the Rockwell scale.
What's more, VG10 steel contains around 15% chromium, making it highly resistant to corrosion. However, due to its high carbon content, the blade requires careful maintenance to prevent oxidation.
The rigid core is enveloped by 33 layers of softer steel that overlap to create a damask pattern. This balances the hardness of the core by adding suppleness to prevent your blade from breaking. Thanks to the upper layers, the blade is less sensitive to micro-shocks when cutting, reducing the risk of breakage.
The top of the blade is hammered to create a contrast with the different damascus layers. This hammering also serves a practical purpose, as it prevents cut food from sticking to the blade, like honeycombing.
This Japanese knife should only be washed by hand. Do not soak in the sink or put in the dishwasher. When washing, take care not to wet the handle, and use a mild soap with a non-abrasive sponge. After washing, dry the knife thoroughly and store it in a dry, moisture-free place.
