About Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Seigaiha – Sakai Takayuki is well-known as the largest knife maker in Sakai. The company hosts a number of blacksmiths and craftsmen who work together to create a huge array of knives. Although the Sakai region traditionally specializes in single-bevel blades, Sakai Takayuki makes many different shapes.

The western style Seigaiha line all feature very cool slanted ‘kiritsuke’ tip, super thin blades and an eye-catching Blue Wave damascus pattern. They are made from Boehler Swedish steel, so they take a super keen edge and are easy to sharpen! An excellent knife for both home cooks and professional chefs.
