Saji Hocho, Sujihiki (Fish and Meat Knife)

Description

Takeshi Saji is among the most famous master smiths in the Takefu Knife Village. With a high-contrast look, this eye-catching blade consists of 31 layers in total. The cutting edge made of SG-2 steel manufactured using powder metallurgy lends it an exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The desert ironwood handle scales, designed specifically with European hands in mind, are fitted to the one-piece blade. Sourced in the deserts of Arizona, the Olneya tree grows at an exceptionally slow pace to produce desert ironwood, one of the world's hardest and densest timbers. The exquisitely beautiful grain shows a golden brown hue with dark streaks. Its high density makes the wood particularly resistant to moisture. One mosaic pin and two stainless steel pins add the finishing touches to the look of this delightful knife. Polished stainless steel flanges fit the blade. Rustproof, double-bevelled, hardness 63 HRC. Supplied in a box made of kiri wood.
Takefu Knife Village
The Takefu Knife Village is a cooperative of blade-smithing specialists. It has upheld the tradition of metalworking for almost 700 years. A small group of extremely skilled master smiths forge limited series of superb knives in their smithies located in the tiny village in Fukui Province. They craft their products by hand to create one-of-a-kind Japanese kitchen knives made only of the best materials.
