Blade & Handle

This is the staple series in the Sakai Takayuki lineup, and it is a professional's favorite. The Grand Chef Knife series is made from the special alloy steel manufactured by Bohler Uddeholm with high hardness and is well-ground with slightly convex edges for exceptional sharpness and edge retention. In addition, as the Grand Chef Knife series is a mono steel blade, there is no cladding of other steels. The sleek, solid construction offers a razor-sharp edge and a remarkably smooth cutting experience.
In the field of precision rolled steel products, the Bohler Uddeholm company has led the industry since it was established in 1670. As quality iron ore excavated from the company mines contains an extremely low amount of phosphorus and sulfur, the special steel is low in impurities, high in carbon, and highly rust-resistant. It is reputed to be the finest steel.

Each knife is carefully finished by the craftsmen of Sakai Takayuki so you can rest assured that the knife will perform right out of the box.
