This Japanese art engraved knife by Sakai Takayuki is a popular line of traditional forged knives which work well for first time users as well as more experienced chefs.
The beautiful Japanese traditional pictures on the blade are carefully hand-engraved & GOLD-plated by the skilled craftsperson who is one of the few art-engraviners with high-quality in Japan.
The blade is made to put soft kitchen knife iron on Yasuki's traditional Nihonko or Hagane --- Shiroko / White Paper Steel #2 --- which has been widely used for a very long time in Japan. The material makes extreme sharpness, very good edge holding and high working hardness. The blade is particularly suitable for the gentle preparation of foods though you need to treat the blade to prevent from rust.
Speaking to the Ebony Wood handle, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. The Buffalo Tsuba equipped to the handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.
