Santoku 17 cm Sakai Takayuki Gold Carp Shirogami#2/Iron

The knives are hand-forged and decorated, and their distinctive Kurouchi-type finish emphasizes the traditional, artisanal process of their creation. Each knife is created through the work of many experienced artisans, which gives it a unique character.

Due to this handmade production and the fine texture of the finish, the surface of the knives may exhibit minor scratches and nicks. These are a natural feature of this product, resulting from both the creation process and use of the knife.

Sakai Takayuki traditionally gives the length of knives measured to the beginning of the handle. We, on the other hand, provide the length of the blade to make it easier to choose the right knife for your needs.
