Saji Takeshi, a master of traditional Japanese blade craftsmanship, inherits Japan's ancient forging techniques. Proficient in combining two different types of steel with skill and expertise, he creates a variety of practical knives with a strong Japanese style. From sleek blade designs to excellent forging techniques and heat treatment, each knife crafted by Mr. Saji insists on being made by his own hands. This dedication and focus, akin to infusing soul into the blade-making process, bridges traditional forging techniques with modern blade craftsmanship, resulting in pure Japanese style and exceptional quality.
Knife Type: Santoku Knife
Edge Type: Double bevel edge, suitable for both left and right-handed users Material: SRS13 (SRS-13 is a newer type of powdered stainless steel developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi. It offers good sharpness, edge retention, and rust resistance. After heat treatment, it can reach HRC 64, theoretically slightly harder than SG2/R2, but sometimes artisans choose not to push the hardness to the limit, preserving some toughness for the edge.) Hardness: 63 HRC Blade Length: 180mm Blade Width: 51mm Thickness: 2.1mm Weight: 238g Handle: Blue synthetic turquoise Notes:
The blade is relatively thin and not suitable for cutting frozen meat or bones. High carbon stainless steel may still develop surface rust after prolonged exposure to moisture. It is recommended to dry it promptly after use to maintain dryness. Due to long shipping distances, we conduct thorough inspections before dispatch. If you have any concerns upon receipt, please communicate with us promptly. Slight dimensional variations are normal due to batch, forging, and manual measurement reasons.
