SAKAI TAKAYUKI DAMASCO 33 CAMADAS VG10 KENGATA SANTOKU 160mm
Product Overview
The Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Damascus VG10 Kengata Santoku 160mm combines the everyday versatility of a Santoku with the sharp, angular precision of a Kengata (kiritsuke-style) tip.
This compact, highly maneuverable knife excels in home and professional kitchens alike, offering outstanding control for detailed prep work.
The blade features a VG-10 stainless steel core, renowned for its razor-sharp edge, long-lasting sharpness, and excellent corrosion resistance. Surrounding the core are 33 layers of stainless Damascus steel, carefully forge-welded to enhance strength, ease of sharpening, and visual elegance.
A traditional Tsuchime (hammered) finish covers the blade surface, increasing forging density while helping reduce food adhesion during cutting. The result is a knife that blends performance, beauty, and practicality.

O que é o aço de Damasco?
O aço de Damasco tem origem no antigo aço de cadinho, também conhecido como aço Wootz, desenvolvido na Índia e valorizado pela sua resistência e pelos seus padrões distintos.
As modernas lâminas japonesas de aço de Damasco são produzidas através da sobreposição de camadas de aço inoxidável à volta de um núcleo de alto desempenho, alcançando uma afiação superior, longa duração do fio, facilidade de afiação e elegantes padrões de grão de madeira.
