Enter the world of Japanese cutting arts with this santoku knife, straight from the town of Sakai, a cutlery stronghold for centuries! This 17 cm santoku from the NanairoBlue Damas VG10 range embodies the perfect blend of refined aesthetics and performance!
The blade of this Japanese santoku measures 17 cm, a well-balanced, versatile format that is suitable for all common kitchen uses (slicing, mincing, chopping).
It features a core of VG10 steel, a Japanese stainless steel renowned for its high performance. Its carbon content (around 1%) results in a hardness of around 60HRC Rockwell, offering an excellent compromise between cutting performance and ease of sharpening.
This core is surrounded by 32 layers of damascus steel, forming a multi-layered structure visible to the naked eye, with elegant metallic undulations. This damascus protects the core while contributing to the overall flexibility of the blade, reducing the risk of breakage.
The hammered finish, called "tsuchime", is not only decorative: it limits the adherence of food to the blade by creating small air pockets between the steel and the ingredients. Finally, the surface is also mirror-polished, adding a remarkable touch of brilliance! All these finishes give your Japanese kitchen knife not only a refined aesthetic, but also true cutting efficiency!
The handle of your Damascus knife is an integral part of its visual identity. It's made from lacquered ABS resin, a modern, highly resistant material. The deep blue color gives it an elegant, contemporary look, while fitting perfectly into a modern kitchen or Japanese knife collection.
The octagonal shape of the handle, borrowed from Japanese tradition, ensures a comfortable, balanced grip, suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It also allows better control of the cutting gesture, particularly for the precise, fluid movements required by Japanese cuisine.
This marriage of modern material and traditional geometry reflects the philosophy of the Nanairo series: to fuse innovation and Japanese craft heritage to create a functional, reliable and resolutely elegant Japanese kitchen knife!
To preserve the performance and elegance of your Damascus knife, wash it only by hand after use, wipe dry immediately and store in a dry place. Avoid the dishwasher, thermal shock or prolonged contact with water.
The Sakai Takayuki brand, based in Sakai in Osaka prefecture, continues a cutlery tradition dating back to the XIVᵉ century. The Nanairo series combines modern materials (such as lacquered ABS resin) with traditional Japanese techniques (octagonal handle shape, damascened forge). Each piece is crafted according to a rigorous protocol, guaranteeing quality, balance, finesse and fidelity to the Japanese spirit. These Sakai Takayuki knives are designed for those looking for a high-performance, elegant tool!
