Sakai Takayuki Kurokage VG10 Hammered Teflon Coating Santoku 170mm Wenge Handle
Sakai TakayukiBehind the Sakai Takayuki brand is 600 plus years of knife making history by skilled craftsmen of Sakai City, Osaka prefecture. Originally famous for the production of Samurai swords, the makers in Sakai take pride in their work and never compromise on quality. WARNING The teflon coating on the blade of this knife will scratch or show signs of wear after a while, especially if you scrub it with a coarse sponge during cleaning. When sharpening the knife, you normally sharpen just the very edge (the bare metal part). However, after a while you will need to thin out the blade by removing some material from the upper part where it's coated. Naturally, in doing so, the coating will come off.Specifications:Knife Type: SantokuSteel Type: VG10 (Stain resistant steel)Blade Hardness: HRC 60-62Blade Type: Double beveled bladeBlade Length: 170mm (6.7")Blade Height: 47mm (1.9")Blade Thickness: 2.2mm (0.1")Ferrule Material: Water Buffalo HornHandle Material: WengeHandle Length: 120mm
