[General Features]
The Sakai Takayuki SANPOU Model is an original & special brand named after the Sanpou Forging Factory of Aoki Hamono. The SANPOU blade is made to put soft kitchen knife iron on Yasuki's traditional Nihonko or Hagane --- Shiroko / White Paper No.2 Steel --- 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.
You can grind it to extreme sharpness, which it retains for a long time.
The blade is particularly suitable for the gentle preparation of foods though you need to treat the blade to prevent from rust.
The handle is made of Round-shaped mono wenge wood for beauty and durability.
The "SANPOU" means "Iron", "Fire", and "Water" which are the three treasures of knife making blacksmiths in Sakai, and the logo featuring these treasures is imprinted on the side of each knife as Sakai Takayuki DNA.
