More about Touroku Sakai Yukage
About Touroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Touroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
I never get sick of looking at this knife. It’s so pretty. I've always said a good knife should inspire you to cook, and this one definitely inspires me. When it comes time to cut, you’re in good hands thanks to the VG10 steel in the blade. It keeps an obscenely sharp edge but doesn’t require a bunch of care like some other fancy knives do. The wooden octagonal handle is very traditional and very comfortable. I find the grooves lock into my hand, making the knife feel like an extension of my wrist.

Hazaki Pro
If you want something a little flashy but still with a classic Japanese/Western hybrid design, the Hazaki Pro is for you. Beautiful Damascus stainless steel and a smooth walnut handle make a hell of a combination. -
Shizu Hamono GEN
A great, accessible knifeline for those who want a slightly more unique looking knife. The beautiful layers of damascus are complimented by the more rustic dark finish behind. -
ICHIGO Nezu
Great for someone looking to upgrade from their favourite western knife, or first Japanese knife to something with a little better edge retention. Chef de Partie using their knife all day everyday but don’t want to worry about it chipping or going dull! Value. Performance. Upgrade from the classic. Looks and feels great!
