Build Your Dream Knife
For over a decade, we have been working with a small selection of top-ranked Japanese forge smiths to make Traditional Forged Knives for our knife collections at JCK.
Due to the forge smith’s extensive experience in hammer forging and traditional handcrafting processes, their special efforts, continuous research, and the craftsmen’s hard work and dedication, we can now offer high-end traditional forged knives and knives made with premium Japanese Steels.
For a while, we have dreamt of offering you a wide variety of traditional Japanese Wa handles, so you can choose your favorite and build your own “dream knife”. This will make the knife and blade feel even more special, original and personalized.

Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom Black Nickel Damascus TSBO-12 Wa Gyuto 210mm (8.2 Inch)
“Wild” and “dynamic” are the words that best describe this Saji VG-10 custom Damascus kitchen knife.
The blade is made with a VG-10 core forged Nickel Damascus Stainless steel (HRc. 62) and features a traditional Japanese Hamaguri-Ba (Convex) blade grind that provides remarkable cutting performance.
The layers of white-colored Nickel steel in this Damascus blade contrast strongly with the layers of stainless steel, producing a powerful wavy Damascus pattern that truly sparkles.
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.
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. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.
Handle Choice:
Notice: We often receive requests from customers who would like to purchase a blade without a Wa Handle, as they want to fit the blade with their own favorite handle (Supplied by themselves). For those customers, we also provide a “Blade Only” option.
Please allow us 5 to 10 days to install the blade in to your selected Wa handle and ship “Your Dream Knife” order.

However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
