The Seiryu, featuring beautiful patterns on the blade, is a high-quality kitchen knife that exudes a sense of luxury while evoking the atmosphere of traditional Japanese swords passed down through the ages.
The Yasuki Aogani II steel has been finished in a Damascus pattern.
The blade is forged from Yasuki Aogani II (Blue Paper #2) carbon steel, finished with an intricate Damascus multi-layered pattern for superior sharpness and aesthetic beauty.
It features a traditional Japanese black lacquered octagonal handle reinforced with natural water buffalo horn rings on both sides for enhanced durability, grip balance, and elegance.
This knife is explicitly designated for Professional Use, built to satisfy the rigorous performance and edge retention standards required by culinary professionals.
Because Yasuki Aogani II is a high-carbon steel, it must be washed by hand, immediately dried thoroughly after use, and lightly oiled during storage to prevent oxidation and rust.
The “Registered Sakai Takayuki” mark confirms authentic master craftsmanship from Sakai, Japan, honoring centuries of traditional sword and knife making heritage.
