Takeshi Saji SUMMIT ― Limited Edition Custom Series VG-10 Custom Damascus Wa Gyuto 240mm (9.4 Inch, STCL-298)

Availability: Normally ships the same day


Takeshi Saji is one of the most experienced and famous forge smiths in Takefu (Now Echizen City), Fukui Prefecture.

He is still very active and insists on creating and making his own unique custom kitchen knifes. He also spends significant time and energy teaching and mentoring the next generation of young forge smiths and craftsmen at the 'Takefu Knife Village Cooperative’.

We all respect Takeshi Saji’s extensive knowledge and his lifelong devotion to knife making and the cutlery industry.

Since the year 2020, we have been working closely with Master Saji to create a new range of top-tier knives that will include unique 'one-of-a-kind' knives and limited edition custom knives, which will often feature special handles. Today, we are very excited to introduce the Saji SUMMIT ― Limited Edition Custom Series!

This beautiful and unique, Takeshi Saji traditional hammer forged, custom Damascus blade is made with a VG-10 core and outer layers of custom forged Nickel Damascus Stainless steel. The hammer-forged blade is heat-treated to HRc.62 and features a traditional Japanese Hamaguri-Ba (Convex) blade grind; a combination that provides remarkable cutting performance and edge retention.

 The polished Damascus blade has an uneven surface texture and has a style and appearance that is unlike other Damascus blades that are on the market. You can sense Master Saji’s vitality and powerful spirit is present inside the blade.

Nowadays, VG-10 steel blades have become popular and very commonplace in the market. However, many users of VG-10 kitchen knives have still not noticed that VG-10 steel blades have the potential to offer great cutting ability, edge retention and strength, provided that the blades have been properly hammer forged, heat-treated, ground and sharpened.

This Custom Limited Edition Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom Damascus Wa Gyuto Knife with Contemporary, Stylish Wa Handle.  The Innovative Octagonal Desert Ironwood Handle with a Marble Colored Water Buffalo Horn Ferrule, a Composite Turquoise Gemstone Ring and Nickel Silver Spacers.   For safekeeping, this knife comes with a matching Black Lacquered  wood Saya (Sheath) with a black pakkawood Saya pin.

The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits.
