Touroku Sakai
Taka Kitano carries forward the proud legacy of Touroku Sakai, a name synonymous with Japanese knife craftsmanship for three generations. Revered worldwide, Touroku Sakai blends time-honored traditions with exceptional artistry, creating blades that exemplify precision and heritage.
The Touroku Sakai 67-Layer Damascus Santoku showcases a harmonious balance of form and function. The Santoku is celebrated for its adaptability in slicing, dicing, and chopping. Its compact blade design offers effortless maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for kitchens of all skill levels. Built around a VG-10 stainless steel core, this knife delivers exceptional sharpness and durability with minimal maintenance, thanks to its impressive 62 HRC hardness. The 67-layer Damascus steel cladding, adorned with a hammered Tsuchime finish and semi-mirror polish, reduces friction for smooth, precise cuts.
The handle, crafted from smoked oak, then burnished, is refined with urushi, a traditional Japanese lacquer. This finishing process enhances the wood's durability and provides a comfortable, secure grip, ensuring both aesthetic and practical appeal. The octagonal shape adds ergonomic balance, ideal for prolonged use.
Hand-forged in Sakai City by master craftsmen, the Touroku Sakai Santoku knife is a versatile kitchen companion that bridges elegance and efficiency. From delicate vegetable prep to slicing through meats and seafood, this knife offers unmatched performance and timeless beauty, tailored to meet the demands of discerning chefs and passionate home cooks alike.
