Immerse yourself in the refinement of Japanese cutlery with this 17 cm Sakai Takayuki Nanairo Green santoku knife! Designed in Sakai, the emblematic city of Japanese forging, this Japanese knife embodies the perfect union of ancestral know-how and modern design!
VG10 damascened blade: between beauty and sharpness
This Japanese santoku knife is forged around a core of VG10 steel, a Japanese stainless alloy containing around 1% carbon, renowned for its strength and ability to maintain a sharp edge. It offers a hardness of around 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, ideal for efficient cutting while remaining easy to sharpen.
This core is wrapped in 32 layers of damascus steel, forming an elegant wave pattern that protects the central core and gives the blade flexibility and resilience.
The hammered surface limits food adherence thanks to small cavities created on the surface. Finally, the mirror-polished finish enhances the overall aesthetics. This marriage of technical and visual finishes makes this blade versatile, durable and formidably efficient!
Green lacquered handle for this damascus knife
The handle catches the eye at first glance with its green lacquered ABS resin, inspired by traditional Japanese lacquers. This modern material is moisture-resistant, hygienic and very easy to care for, making it a reliable everyday ally.
Its typically Japanese octagonal shape provides a stable, comfortable grip for both right- and left-handed users. This geometry enables fine control of gestures, for optimum precision in the kitchen.
The bold, colorful design of the Sakai Takayuki Nanairo Green range breathes a contemporary touch into a deeply traditional Japanese kitchen knife!
