Sakai Takayuki Usuba Inox knife with 165 mm blade. Blade is made chrome and molybdenum 8A stainless steel. Weight is 160 g. Sakai Takayuki Inox knives are sharp and do not rust easily due to their special material. The U shaped magnolia handles and water buffalo bolsters are easy to grip and are comfortable in the hand, even through long hours of use. The Usuba is ideal for cutting vegetables and fruits which are served raw, because the thin and sharp blade produces cut surfaces with very little cell damage, and this minimizes the discoloration and change in flavor often caused by oxidation. The versatile middle section of the blade can be used for thinly slicing vegetables and also for performing the specialized Katsuramuki ("Rotary peeling”) technique.
The relatively tall and long blade of the Usuba make it ideal for tackling large ingredients, such as cabbages, but it is not recommended for cutting vegetables or fruit with hard skins or hard stones, because they may damage the blade.This Sakai Takayuki Usuba knife is easy to sharpen and recommended for business and home use.
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.
