As a certified Traditional Craftsman with over fifty years of experience in Echizen, Saji is world-renowned for blending traditional multi-layered forging techniques with modern, high-performance steels. His work is instantly recognizable for its bold, rustic aesthetics and exceptional geometry, making his blades highly coveted by professional chefs and serious collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThis 210mm Gyuto arrives as a bare blade at our request, offering the ultimate canvas to pair a master-level forge with a custom handle of your own choice. Forged with a premium VG10 stainless steel core hardened to 60-61 HRC, it delivers an incredibly crisp, long-lasting edge without the demanding maintenance of a high-carbon blade. At 210mm, this Japanese chef's knife profile is the quintessential multi-tasker, offering the ideal length for slicing larger proteins, dicing vegetables, and handling heavy kitchen prep with absolute agility and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe standout feature of this model is its striking Kuroshiage finish, where the dark, unpolished scale from the forge is left intact and etched for heightened contrast. This textured, rustic surface doesn't just give the knife its powerful visual character—it also creates pockets of air that help food release cleanly while cutting. With its beautifully thin grind, generous heel, and long, elegant profile, this blade perfectly balances master-class slicing performance with a dramatic, low-maintenance aesthetic.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop.
