Taka Kitano guides Touroku Sakai, a prestigious name in Japanese knife craftsmanship spanning three generations. Celebrated globally, Touroku Sakai is a distinguished guild of artisans known for their meticulous craftsmanship rooted in centuries-old techniques.

The Sanmai Kurohada Series embodies excellence with its Blue Super core clad in SUS405 stainless steel, offering the perfect balance between the ease of stainless steel care and the sharpness and easy sharpenability of carbon steel. Enhanced with a Tsuchime hammer texture and complemented by a Yakisugi Urushi (Flame Licked Oak) octagon handle, these knives are indispensable workhorses in any kitchen.

The Santoku knife, aptly named for its "three virtues," rivals the Gyuto in functionality and versatility, thanks to its slight curve in the blade profile. Designed for meat, fish, and vegetable tasks, this knife's shorter and thinner blade profile ensures user-friendly and versatile performance, making it an essential tool in any culinary repertoire.
