Takeshi Saji SUMMIT ― Limited Edition Custom Series VG-10 Custom "Silver Color" Nickel Damascus Wa Sujihiki 240mm (9.4 Inch, STCL-323)

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!

“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 long, narrow, graceful blade of the Sujihiki is particularly useful for trimming away sinew and fat from meat, finely slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip.

Custom Limited Edition, Takeshi Saji R-2 Damascus Bunka 165mm (6.4 Inch, STCL-53)

 

This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.

For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems. 

We believe quality and performance of Japanese knives are best in the world and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and spirits from your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife can be your special cooking partner for long time.
