Sakai Takayuki VG5 Pro Tsuchime Wa Kengata Santoku 165mm
About Sakai Takayuki VG10 Nashiji - Sakai Takayuki is well-known as the largest knife maker in Sakai. The company hosts a number of blacksmiths and craftsmen who work together to create a huge array of knives. Although the Sakai region traditionally specializes in single-bevel blades, Sakai Takayuki makes many different shapes.
Sakai Takayuki’s Nashiji line is made from VG-5, a high-carbon stainless steel created for knife-making. I love the stunning kasumi finish, the contrast between the shiny edge steel and the cloudy look above it. This blade slices like a dream, feels great in the hand, and looks spectacular. The complete package!
About the Shape - This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.
