SAKAI TAKAYUKI 33-Layer Damascus VG10 SUJIHIKI 240mm
Product Overview
The Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Damascus VG10 Sujihiki 240mm is a long, slender Japanese slicing knife designed for precise, effortless cuts of meat and fish.
Its narrow blade profile minimizes resistance, allowing for clean, single-stroke slicing that preserves the texture and appearance of ingredients.
At the core of the blade is VG-10 stainless steel, prized for its exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention, and high corrosion resistance. This core is clad in 33 layers of stainless Damascus steel, delivering outstanding cutting performance, durability, and refined visual beauty.
The blade is finished with a traditional Tsuchime (hammered) pattern, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality by improving food release and increasing forging density.

What Is Damascus Steel?
Damascus steel originates from ancient crucible steel, also known as Wootz steel, developed in India and valued for its strength and distinctive patterns.
Modern Japanese Damascus blades are produced by layering stainless steels around a high-performance core, achieving superior sharpness, long edge life, ease of sharpening, and elegant wood-grain patterns.
