Blade & Handle

The Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef SP Type III Knife Series features blades forged from a special alloy steel produced by Böhler-Uddeholm for exceptional sharpness and balance, combined with a handcrafted color-stabilized hybrid resin handle and a polished stainless bolster.
The handle combines elegance, durability, and balance. Its smooth contours offer a comfortable, secure grip for effortless cutting.
Böhler-Uddeholm, a world leader in precision rolled steel manufacturing since 1670, is renowned for producing steels with exceptionally low impurities. Using high-quality iron ore with minimal phosphorus and sulfur, their steel offers high carbon content, outstanding rust resistance, and superior edge retention, making it one of the finest materials available for professional-grade knives.

Each knife is carefully finished by the craftsmen of Sakai Takayuki, so you can rest assured that the knife will perform right out of the box.

Sujihiki Slicing Knife

Sujihiki (lit. muscle pulling, meaning muscle or tendon cutter) is the Japanese adaptation of Western-style slicers. These knives are made thinner and shorter than chef's knives, nakiri, and santoku to minimize friction while slicing meat and fish. Some chefs will use this style of knife to prepare sashimi and sushi instead of a yanagi-ba for its favorable maintenance requirements versus single bevel knives.
