Brand Introduction:
⭕️Sakai Takayuki: A brand under Aoki Hamono, representing over 600 years of Sakai blade-making tradition. Sakai is one of Japan’s top three knife-producing regions, originally known for samurai swords. Since the 16th century, it has developed high-quality handcrafted kitchen knives, once supplied exclusively to the Tokugawa shogunate. Through repeated forging of soft iron and steel, these blades achieve both sharpness and durability.
Sakai Takayuki offers a wide range of knives, including single-bevel and double-bevel, as well as Japanese and Western styles. Exported to over 100 countries, they are highly regarded by professional chefs and enthusiasts worldwide. The brand also promotes knife culture through its Gallery & Lounge concept, combining craftsmanship, art, and culinary experiences.
Material Introduction:
⭕️Super Aogami Steel: With a hardness reaching around HRC 67, it is one of the highest-grade carbon steels in Hitachi’s Yasugi steel lineup. It is developed by increasing the carbon content from Blue #2 to Blue #1, and further to Super Blue. It offers exceptional edge retention and sharpness but is more demanding in maintenance and sharpening, making it suitable for experienced users.
Knife Model Introduction:
⭕️Sujihiki: Primarily designed for slicing meat and removing sinew. Its long and narrow blade allows smooth separation between meat and connective tissue. It is also commonly used for slicing sashimi-grade meat such as tuna. Positioned between a gyuto and a yanagiba, it serves as a versatile and professional slicing knife.
