Brand Introduction:
⭕️Sakai Takayuki: A brand of Aoki Hamono based in Sakai, Japan, inheriting over 600 years of traditional blade-making craftsmanship. Sakai is one of Japan’s top three knife-producing regions, historically known for sword making. Since the 16th century, it has developed high-quality kitchen knives, once supplied exclusively to the Tokugawa shogunate. Its forging technique combines soft iron and steel through repeated hammering, resulting in blades that are both sharp and durable.
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, the brand is highly regarded by professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts worldwide. In recent years, experiential spaces combining knives, art, and cuisine have further promoted Japanese blade culture globally.
Material Introduction:
⭕️VG-10: Composed of approximately 1.0% carbon, 15.0% chromium, 0.2–0.3% vanadium, 1.0% molybdenum, and 1.5% cobalt. This composition provides excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt and vanadium enhances wear resistance and edge retention. With a hardness of around HRC 60–62, it maintains sharpness over long periods while retaining toughness. High chromium content ensures strong resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for kitchen environments.
Knife Model Introduction:
⭕️Wa-Gyuto: A Japanese-style chef’s knife designed for slicing and trimming meat, especially premium wagyu beef. Its longer blade allows for smooth, continuous cuts, preserving the texture and presentation of the meat. Suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks who demand precision in meat preparation.
