Description:
Sakai Takayuki is one of the most renowned names among knife enthusiasts and collectors. Founded in Sakai (Osaka), the brand carries more than 600 years of knife-making history. Since the 16th century, Sakai Takayuki has been producing knives, originally created for cutting and trimming tobacco in the Sakai region. Itsuo Doi, one of the most famous blacksmiths of the brand, was the grandson of the legendary Keijiro Doi.

The handle is crafted from Spanish Mahogany Pakkawood, resin-infused with epoxy for strength, moisture resistance, and long-lasting durability. Its smooth finish and refined color provide both comfort and elegance.
