The santoku knife is a versatile model, ideal for a variety of cuts! Thanks to its high-performance blade, you can easily mince vegetables, slice fish, chop meat or chop herbs. However, it is not recommended for use on hard foods such as squash or bones.
Sakai Takayuki, based in the town of Sakai, Japan, is a company with almost 50 years of experience. Thanks to this long experience, it excels in the art of cutlery. It has also inherited the ancestral techniques of Japanese katana smiths. Today, it offers authentic kitchen knives with unique designs, blending tradition and modernity.
The blade of this Japanese kitchen knife is made from damascus steel, a traditional Japanese technique. This process consists of forging a hard steel core, surrounded by several layers of softer steel. This construction achieves an ideal balance between rigidity and flexibility, protecting the core of the blade and reducing the risk of breakage from micro-shocks.
In addition to its functional advantages, damascus also offers real aesthetic appeal! The superimposition of steel layers creates elegant wavy patterns visible throughout the blade, making each Sakai Takayuki knife unique!
Japanese ZA-18 steel was chosen for this blade. This alloy, similar to the famous VG10 steel, contains a higher carbon content of around 1.2%. This carbon content guarantees superior hardness, enabling the blade to maintain its sharpness over a long period of time.
This blade has a hardness of 62HRC on the Rockwell scale, attesting to its core rigidity and remarkable performance. It is designed to maintain its sharpness for a long time! Your blade's fine "flat"grind ensures strength and ease of maintenance.
This alloy is also enriched with approximately 18% chromium, which reinforces its resistance to corrosion. However, due to its high carbon content, regular maintenance is necessary to prevent oxidation.
Damascus is made up of 69 layers of softer stainless steel, added to protect the core while increasing its corrosion resistance.
Finally, your blade has been polished to an elegant mirror finish, while engraved kanji add a touch of authenticity to your Japanese santoku knife.
The handle of this Japanese knife is made from wenge wood, a tropical wood renowned for its durability and resistance to humidity. Its dark appearance, enhanced by a unique veining, gives each knife a distinctive character!
Octagonal in shape, this handle is designed to suit both right- and left-handed users! It offers an ergonomic grip and optimum comfort, even during prolonged use.
A black buffalo horn bolster harmoniously complements the wenge handle, adding a touch of refinement. It also adds balance to your damascus knife.
What's more, wood pulp has been applied to the junction between blade and handle, ensuring a perfect seal that prevents the infiltration of water or food residues.
To care for your Japanese knife, wash it exclusively by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Once cleaned, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put it in the dishwasher, nor leave it to soak in water.
