Specifications

Hand-forged in Echizen, Japan by master blacksmith Takeshi Saji, this 210mm gyuto is a multi-purpose Japanese chef knife designed for meat, fish, and vegetables. Featuring a VG10 stainless steel core, this knife offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The blade is clad in stainless damascus with brass and copper accents, creating a visually striking pattern. Weighing just 147 grams, it is perfectly balanced for precise control. The octagonal rosewood handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip. This knife comes with a traditional kiri wood box.

Takeshi Saji (born 1948) is a third-generation master blacksmith from Echizen and a founding member of Takefu Knife Village. In 1992, he was awarded the prestigious title of "Traditional Master Craftsman," recognizing his expertise in Japanese knife-making. Working alongside his two apprentices, Saji-san continues to craft high-quality knives that uphold traditional blacksmithing skills while adapting to contemporary designs.
