Master Saji has now been making knives for over 40 years and has become highly experienced in his art.
After testing and evaluating a very reputable Powdered Metallurgy High Speed Tool Steel, called “R-2” (Manufactured by Kobelco), he decided to produce an exciting new range of this traditionally hammer-forged Damascus kitchen knife using this modern ‘super steel’.
A dark R-2 Damascus blade, which features a crisp and vigorous Damascus pattern. This knife fitted with the natural figure and grain of the Ironwood Handles a and polished stainless steel bolster and rivets, which match the energetic style of the Damascus blade.
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.
From the moment I laid eyes on the Takeshi Saji R-2 Custom Black Damascus Wild Series Gyuto, I knew it was something special. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the stunning black Damascus pattern to the comfortable grip of the handle. It's not just a kitchen tool; it's a piece of art. Using this knife has been an absolute delight. The sharpness is unparalleled, slicing through ingredients with such ease that it feels like they're melting under the blade. Whether I'm dicing onions, slicing tomatoes, or carving meat, the precision and control this knife offers are impressive. It's well-balanced, making even the most tedious kitchen tasks enjoyable. But what truly sets this knife apart is its beauty. The Damascus pattern on the blade is mesmerizing, turning an ordinary cooking experience into something extraordinary. It's a conversation starter and has been admired by everyone who sees it in my kitchen. In terms of durability, I've found it to be quite resilient. Despite regular use, the blade has retained its sharpness, and the handle still looks as good as new. It's clear that this is a high-quality knife that's built to last. My overall experience with the Takeshi Saji R-2 Gyuto has been wonderful. It's not just a tool; it's an inspiration in the kitchen. The balance of beauty and functionality is just perfect. For anyone who loves cooking and appreciates fine craftsmanship, this knife is a must-have. It's definitely a purchase I'm delighted with and would recommend to fellow culinary enthusiasts.
This is a beautiful and functional knife. The patterned steel is gorgeous. Shipping & customer service were quick& responsive.
Using this knife has been a real treat. Saji-san really knows how to make a beautiful sharp blade, with amazing edge retention. The knife came extremely sharp out of the box and has been instrumental in cutting down prep. time for our home cooked meals. It’s a true workhorse. JCK.com has been a real pleasure to buy from and their shipping was unexpectedly quick. I received my knife around 3 days after purchase.
This knife is a jewel you can't stop using (and showing to your friends and colleagues ;-)) The service of JCK is extraordinary! Great product, great purchase experience! Great team!
This is my second order with JapaneseChefsKnives.com, and once again I could not be more happy. First, my order was placed with standard shipping and arrived in Kentucky USA from Seki Japan in 36 hours. Second, the knife is an absolute treasure. I use it every day, it is a work of art. Thank you!!
