Description
Taka Kitano continues the storied tradition of Touroku Sakai, a legacy of exceptional Japanese knife-making that spans three generations. Known worldwide for their dedication to preserving traditional techniques, Touroku Sakai artisans combine centuries-old craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail in every blade they produce.
The Toroku Sakai 10A Nickel Damascus & Tsuchime Gyuto 210mm is a beautifully crafted Japanese chef knife that combines traditional Sakai craftsmanship with modern cutting performance. Forged with a striking Nickel Damascus finish and finished in a refined Tsuchime (hammered) pattern, this gyuto delivers both visual depth and practical food release during prep work.
At the core is 10A stainless steel, offering excellent sharpness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance—making it suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks. The blade features a subtle matte-like finish that gives the knife a more understated and sophisticated appearance compared to highly polished Damascus blades. The blade is built around an AUS-10 stainless steel core, layered in 67-layer Damascus, and finished with hand-applied tsuchime hammer marks that help reduce food drag. The octagonal handle is crafted from burnt oak finished.
The 210mm Gyuto profile is widely regarded as the most versatile Japanese chef knife shape, capable of handling slicing, chopping, dicing, and protein preparation with precision and control. Paired with a premium Burnt Oak Handle, the knife offers a comfortable grip, natural balance, and a warm rustic aesthetic that complements the darkened Damascus finish beautifully.
Whether used for daily prep or displayed as part of a collection, the Toroku Sakai 10A Nickel Damascus & Tsuchime Gyuto 210mm delivers a refined blend of performance, craftsmanship, and timeless Japanese knife design.
