Sakai Takayuki Blue Steel Honyaki Yanagi 270mm (10.6")
- In stock, ready to ship
Description
Sakai Takayuki's Blue Steel Honyaki line is the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship and a true collector's piece. Master Blacksmith Kenji Togashi forges using a single piece of #2 Blue Steel, highly regarded for its edge life, purity and hardness. Only a handful of blacksmiths are capable of forging in this method, which produces the hardest, truest blades with the longest edge life. Each blade is then sharpened on a series of wheels and natural stones by Master Bladesmith Hirotsugu Tosa and polished to a mirror finish.
Why we love them: Sakai Takayuki Blue Steel Honyaki is truly a stunning, one-of-a-kind knife. A top recommendation when you're looking for something beyond special.
Please note: This knife is made from carbon steel, which gets incredibly sharp and is easy to sharpen but requires additional maintenance. This knife should be kept clean and dry at all times and oiled when not in use for an extended amount of time. Carbon knives can be reactive with high acid foods.
*Complimentary magnolia knife sheath is included.
*These knives are single edged and are for right-handed users. Please contact us for pricing on left-handed models.
