VG10 Rainbow Nashiji Japanese knives are hand-forged by Takeshi Saji, a renowned Japanese master blacksmith. Renowned for his expertise, he creates knives combining elegance and precision, appreciated by Japanese chefs. Thanks to his use of ancestral forging techniques, Takeshi Saji designs unique models that reflect authentic craftsmanship. Since the 1990s, he has been awarded the title of Master Traditional Craftsman by Japan's Ministry of Economy, attesting to his remarkable talent!
His workshop is at the heart of the Takefu Cutlery Village, an emblematic place where blacksmiths gather to exchange their know-how, tools and expertise. It plays an essential role in the preservation and transmission of Japanese blacksmithing techniques, enabling new generations to perpetuate this craft tradition.
This Japanese sujihiki knife is equipped with a damascus steel blade: a technique that consists of forging a core of rigid steel, wrapped in several layers of softer steel. This process ensures optimum balance of blade hardness, while protecting the core.
The blade core is made of Japanese VG10 steel, a superior alloy produced by the renowned Takefu Special Steel. With a high carbon content of around 1%, this steel achieves a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing excellent edge retention. This reduces the need for frequent sharpening and delivers a precise, long-lasting cut!
The blade features a flat grind that is both thin and strong, reinforcing its solidity while offering a refined design. What's more, this shape is easy to reproduce when sharpening, making it easier to maintain your edge.
Next, the core is surrounded by several layers of softer stainless steel, forming the damascus. Each Takeshi Saji knife features unique patterns created by the superimposition of the different steels. The blade is distinguished by a subtle and original copper hue! It features a nashiji finish, which leaves a raw, unpolished appearance, adding character and authenticity to this handcrafted Japanese knife.
The handle of this damask knife is made from rosewood, a durable, moisture-resistant wood. Its warm shades of brown add a refined touch to the aesthetics of this Japanese knife!
A red pakkawood bolster harmoniously completes the junction between blade and handle. This composite material, made from laminated wood and hot-compressed resin, combines the robustness of composite with a natural look thanks to its distinctive veining.
Thanks to its octagonal shape, the handle offers an ergonomic grip that suits right- and left-handed users alike! It guarantees optimum comfort even for prolonged use in the kitchen.
Finally, wood putty has been applied where the blade joins the handle to fill the gaps. This prevents the ingress of water or food residues.
To care for your Takeshi Saji knife, wash only by hand with a sponge and mild detergent, avoiding wetting the handle. Dry it immediately after washing to remove any moisture, and store it in a dry place. Do not wash in the dishwasher or soak for long periods.
