The Japanese Sakai Takayuki Kengata knife has a 16 cm blade. The Kengata is a versatile kitchen knife whose name translates as "sword shape." It features a unique reverse tanto or k-tip, designed for fine slicing, chopping, and precision work. Essentially, it's a more aggressive and stylish version of the Japanese Bunka or Santoku knife. The blade is crafted from high-carbon, yet corrosion-resistant VG10 steel. Additionally, the blade is coated with a black Teflon coating. This prevents food from sticking during chopping and provides additional protection. The upper part of the blade features a hammer-forged texture (tsuchime), giving the knife a stylish, authentic look. The handle is made of wenge wood. Manufactured in Japan by Aoki Hamono Co., Ltd., this knife embodies traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.

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.
