Takeshi Saji, a master blacksmith from Echizen, Japan, carries a family legacy of craftsmanship that spans generations. Born in Takefu in 1948, he started honing his skills under his father’s guidance in 1966, eventually becoming a third-generation master blacksmith by the age of 30. In 1992, his expertise was officially acknowledged when he was awarded the title of “Traditional Master Craftsman” by Japan’s Ministry of International Trade & Industry.

This beautifully crafted knife features a 31-layer SG2 black Damascus steel blade, which showcases an intricate etched pattern highlighting the stunning contrast of its layers. Paired with an octagonal Rosewood handle, it offers both aesthetic appeal and ergonomic comfort, creating a well-balanced, functional tool. Its thin blade ensures precise, smooth cuts while maintaining robustness and durability. Presented in an elegant wooden kiri box, this knife is as much a collector's item as it is a practical kitchen tool.

The Gyuto, or Chef’s Knife, is a staple in any kitchen, revered for its versatility in handling a range of tasks from slicing fish and meat to chopping vegetables. With its superb craftsmanship and reliable performance, the Gyuto is a trusted companion for any cooking enthusiast, perfectly suited for daily culinary use.
