Sakai Takayuki KEISHOURYU Gold-Engraving
This Japanese art engraved Tuna-Kiri or Maguro Bocho knife is a top line of the Tokujyo Supreme Series by Sakai Takayuki.
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 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. The blade is particularly suitable for the gentle preparation of foods though you need to treat the blade to prevent from rust.
The handle of the knife is Half Rounded Octagonal Ebony Wood with Buffalo Horn Ferrule for Top Professional Use. (Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (guard) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.) Each knife is hand sharpened to ensure maximum sharpness out of the box.
