The classic Japanese bunka knife by Sakai Takayuki, with a 16 cm blade, is a compact, versatile knife suitable for most kitchen tasks. The blade is crafted from high-quality VG10 stainless steel, renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, and long-lasting edge retention. The VG10 core is encased in 33 layers of Damascus steel. The double-sided sharpening of the cutting edge makes the knife equally comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The traditional Japanese handle is made of zelkova (Keyaki) wood—a deciduous tree from the elm family, highly prized in Japan for its strength, stability, and beautiful natural texture. Manufactured by Aoki Hamono Co., Ltd. in Japan, this knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This knife is not dishwasher safe.

Sakai Takayuki knives are made in Sakai (Osaka Prefecture, Japan), one of the world's most renowned centers for the production of blades and cutlery. Sakai Takayuki knives are produced by the Japanese company Aoki Hamono Seisakusho Co., founded in 1942. The company's owner, Ichiro Aoki, began selling Sakai knives, personally visiting stores to demonstrate their superior quality. The brand was officially registered in 1964, and the name "Takayuki" was given in honor of the founder's eldest son.
Today, Sakai Takayuki produces high-quality kitchen knives, crafted entirely by hand by artisans, drawing on over 600 years of Japanese swordsmithing experience. The Sakai-based company is proud to continue crafting knives using the same ancient techniques. Aogami Super (Blue Super), Shirogami #2 (White #2), Ginsan (Silver 3), and VG10 steels are used for production. Many Japanese Sakai Takayuki knives feature a multi-layer Damascus structure.
