The Sakai Takayuki Nanairo 27 cm Japanese yanagiba knife is a cutting tool forged in Sakai, a Japanese town emblematic of cutlery expertise. This 27 cm blade is specifically designed for cutting sashimi, raw fish or tender meats, in the purest Japanese tradition.
This Japanese kitchen knife features a blade with San Maï construction: a technique consisting of forging a rigid steel core which is then surrounded by two layers of softer steel. This method balances the hardness of the core while providing optimum protection.
Made fromAUS-8 stainless steel , the core is corrosion-resistant, yet easy to maintain and sharpen. Its carbon content is around 0.8%, ensuring a sharp, precise edge without compromising longevity. It achieves a Rockwell hardness of 59 HRC, making it both robust and forgiving, and particularly suited to intensive use in the kitchen. This level of hardness also guarantees good wire retention, without being excessively brittle.
The blade is sharpened to a one-sided bevel, typical of Japanese yanagiba knives. This profile enables ultra-fine, resistance-free cuts, and respects food, especially fragile flesh such as fish. This type of sharpening requires a certain amount of skill in use, and is particularly suited to right-handed cooks.
The handle of this Sakai Takayuki Nanairo knife is a success in both functional and aesthetic terms. Made from high-density ABS resin , it is finished in a deep green lacquer inspired by traditional Japanese lacquering techniques. This finish gives your Japanese kitchen knife an original look, while resisting humidity, heat and stains.
Its octagonal shape offers excellent balance and a natural grip, whether for long work sessions or precise cutting. This traditional geometry enables intuitive hand positioning and reduces fatigue, while ensuring great stability.
To care for your Japanese knife, wash only by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Once cleaned, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher, nor leave to soak in the sink.
Sakai Takayuki is a cutlery brand based in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, the historic birthplace of Japanese cutlery for over 600 years.
It brings together a number of specialized blacksmiths, who perpetuate traditional techniques (forging, hand-shaping, individual sharpening) while integrating modern innovations, such as the Nanairo series, which combines the contemporary aesthetics of lacquered handles with high-performance stainless steels. Choose this Sakai Takayuki Nanairo yanagiba knife for elegant, precise cutting!
