The Sakai Takayuki Nanairo 21 cm yanagiba knife is made in Japan's Sakai region, renowned for centuries for its master cutlers. This Japanese kitchen knife combines traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques to offer a blade as beautiful as it is functional.
This blade respects Japan's typical San Maï (three-layer) construction: a hard steel core, surrounded by two layers of softer steel that protect the core and enhance durability.
Here, the core is made of AUS-8 steel, composed of around 0.8% carbon, which achieves a hardness of 59 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This ensures a long-lasting edge while remaining reasonably easy to sharpen.
Then, to complete the San Maï structure, a layer of stainless steel surrounds the core to give your blade optimum balance and hardness!
Like most yanagiba knives, the blade is sharpened on one side only. This asymmetrical cutting edge is designed for right-handed cooks, enabling very fine cuts for sashimi or fillets.
The ergonomic octagonal shape of the handle helps stabilize the grip while reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
It is made of ABS resin, a material that is highly resistant to shock and abrasion, lightweight and easy to stain and lacquer. For this model, it is lacquered in blue with an original tortoiseshell effect.
The machi where the blade joins the handle is left slightly exposed, a traditional Sakai feature that contributes to the knife's good balance.
Wash this Japanese kitchen knife by hand only, using mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Never put in the dishwasher or leave to soak. Dry immediately to avoid oxidation or damage to the handle, then store in a dry place.
The Sakai Takayuki brand is based in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, at the heart of the Japanese cutlery tradition. For over 600 years, this region has been renowned for the manufacture of exceptional blades. Sakai's master cutlers perpetuate artisanal methods: forging, hand-sharpening and meticulous finishing.
The Sakai Takayuki Nanairo series combines modern stainless steel with a decorative handle using traditional lacquering techniques (Echizen), while using materials such as ABS resin to guarantee strength and ease of maintenance. This is the ideal stainless steel Japanese knife for fine-cutting enthusiasts!
