VG10 Rainbow Takeshi Saji Japanese knives are hand-forged by master craftsman Takeshi Saji, an essential reference in the world of cutlery! Thanks to his expertise, he creates Japanese kitchen knives that combine finesse and aesthetics. Using ancestral forging techniques, he designs original models that appeal to professionals and enthusiasts alike. Takeshi Saji obtained the prestigious title of Master Traditional Craftsman in the 90s, a recognition awarded by the Japanese Ministry of the Economy.
His workshop is located in the Takefu Cutlery Village, a mecca for Japanese blacksmiths and craftsmen. This space encourages the sharing of knowledge and techniques between blacksmiths, guaranteeing the transmission of know-how to future generations. This place is a real pillar for Japanese cutlery, where tradition and innovation meet.
This Japanese nakiri knife features a damascus blade, a process that consists of superimposing several layers of steel around a more rigid central core. This construction protects the core of the blade while ensuring optimal balance during use.
The core of this blade is made from Japanese VG10 steel, a high-end alloy developed by Takefu Special Steel. With a carbon content of 1%, this steel gives the blade a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, offering excellent edge retention and outstanding cutting performance! Thanks to this hardness, you can reduce the frequency of sharpening and enjoy a clean, precise cut over the long term!
Around this core, several layers of softer steel are added to form the damascus pattern. This wavy pattern, unique to each blade, gives it a refined, authentic look. The special feature of this model is its slightly coppery tint, giving it an original and distinctive appearance. What's more, the blade has been polished to a mirror effect, enhancing its elegance and refinement.
The handle of this handcrafted Japanese knife is made from rosewood, a robust, moisture-resistant wood. Its natural shades of brown add a warm, sophisticated touch to the overall look of your Japanese kitchen knife.
A red pakka wood bolster completes the handle, creating a harmonious transition with the blade. This composite material, obtained by compressing laminated wood and resin, combines the solidity of composite with the charm of natural grain, for a finish that's as aesthetic as it is durable.
The octagonal shape of the handle is ideal for a comfortable grip, suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users! It provides an excellent grip, even during prolonged use.
Finally, wood paste is applied to the junction between blade and handle, guaranteeing a perfect seal. This prevents water infiltration and contributes to the longevity of your damascus knife.
To preserve your Japanese knife, wash it exclusively by hand with a soft sponge, taking care not to get the handle too wet. After cleaning, dry it immediately to avoid any traces of moisture, and store it in a dry place. The dishwasher is not recommended, nor is soaking in the sink.
This knife is presented in an elegant wooden box, ensuring both optimum protection and attractive presentation!
