Taka Kitano leads Touroku Sakai, a storied family of Japanese knife artisanship spanning three generations. Globally acclaimed, Touroku Sakai is known for upholding time-honored craftsmanship techniques that have been passed down for centuries. The Blue Super Stainless Clad Series features a Sanmai construction, combining a Blue Super carbon steel core with a stainless steel cladding. This design ensures exceptional sharpness, long-lasting edge retention, and easy upkeep due to the protective stainless exterior. The octagonal oak handle, coated with traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer, offers a lightweight yet comfortable grip, allowing the knife to move naturally with your hand.

The Nakiri, a go-to choice for vegetable preparation, is inspired by the Japanese single-bevel Usuba. Its thin spine, flat profile, and squared tip make it perfect for achieving precise and clean vegetable cuts, ensuring smooth and efficient slicing with every use.

 

Note: This Knife has an exposed core of Blue Super carbon steel, which is not stainless. Please follow care instructions for Carbon Steel here.
