A eye-catching black damascus SG2/R2 nakiri, handcrafted by master blacksmith Takeshi Saji of Echizen, Japan. SG2 is a PM stainless steel highly valued for its superior edge retention, an ideal feature for most professional chefs. Its corrosion resistance further enhances the appeal for pros looking for an easy-to-maintain vegetable knife. The knife showcases a beautifully etched damascus finish, offering a contrast of its intricate layers. Paired with an elegant desert ironwood handle, this knife is both functional and visually stunning. It's a fantastic cutter; it's thin behind the edge without that delicate or fragile feeling. It comes complete with a kiri box
※ Takeshi Saji (1948) is one of Japan's most illustrious blacksmith masters. Saji-san is one of the founding members of Takefu Knife Village. He was officially certified as a "Traditional Master Craftsman" in 1992, a prestigious title awarded only to Japan's best craftsmen. He is a third-generation blacksmith, and his workshop is located in Echizen's Takefu Knife Village, where he forges knives alongside his two apprentices.
He is also known for producing top-of-the-line hunting knives, which were sold in Japan and abroad. In addition to hand-picked wood, he used animal horns to make handles, and over time, he became a leading expert on Western type handles in the region. Yu Kurosaki and other Takefu masters honed their skills under his tutelage as well.
