Touroku Sakai
Taka Kitano continues the storied tradition of Touroku Sakai, a legacy of exceptional Japanese knife-making that spans three generations. Known worldwide for their dedication to preserving traditional techniques, Touroku Sakai artisans combine centuries-old craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail in every blade they produce.
The Touroku Sakai 67-Layer Damascus Gyuto is an exquisite example of their artistry, pairing beauty with practicality. The VG-10 stainless steel core provides outstanding edge retention and ease of maintenance, with a Rockwell Hardness of 62 ensuring long-lasting performance. Its 67-layer Damascus cladding features a hammered Tsuchime finish enhanced by a semi-mirror polish, which reduces drag and allows the blade to slice effortlessly through various ingredients.
The tradition octaganal handle is made from oak that has been smoked to achieve a deep, rich tone, then burnished and coated with urushi, a traditional Japanese lacquer. This process enhances durability while offering a comfortable grip for precise and controlled handling.
Hand-forged in Sakai City by skilled craftsmen, this Gyuto knife exemplifies versatility, capable of handling a range of tasks from slicing fish to carving meats and chopping vegetables. Its thoughtful design and unparalleled performance make it a reliable choice for chefs and home cooks alike, seamlessly blending elegance and utility in one exceptional tool.
