Experience the timeless craftsmanship of Sakai Takayuki with their storied 600-year history of knife-making. Starting as a company in the 16th century in Sakai, they originally honed their skills on tobacco trimming knives and farming tools. Today, they are owned by Aoki-Hamano Seisakusho Company, a company dedicated to preserving traditional techniques while embracing innovation.
Whether you're a seasoned knife user or a collector, Sakai Takayuki is a name that holds weight in the industry. Their long-standing tradition of excellence combined with a commitment to modernity sets them apart from the rest.
The knife featured here is a gyuto. The blade is made with a core of Aogami Super high carbon steel which is then hammer forged to a cladding of stainless steel in the san-mai style of forge welding. The strong outer layer is given a hammer finish while the carbon forging scale has been kept on the blade for that very cool kurouchi look. A nice maple octagonal handle completes this great-looking package.Maker: Sakai Takayuki
