Sakai Takayuki - Grand Gyuto SP Chef 270(ST-10214)

The Takayuki Grand Chef SP Gyuto is made from the highly regarded Swedish Stainless Steel called Bohler N685. The iron used to make this alloy is excavated from the Böhler-Uddeholm company mines and contains an extremely low amount of phosphorus and sulfur and boasts some of the lowest impurities of any stainless steel. This results in a steel that is regarded as one of the finest stainless steels in the world. Bohler N690 stainless steel offers exceptional sharpness as well as abrasion and corrosion resistance and will stay that way over many years of service. This is an essential requirement in many home or professional kitchens.

The Sakai Takayuki company can be traced to the origins of sword making in Sakai, Japan, nearly 600 years ago. This current version of the company was established in 1946, and has since become one of the biggest manufacturers of Japanese knives in the world. Their products span the entire gamut of kitchen cutlery. In 1982, Takayuki received the high honor of having their knives designated as Traditional Arts and Crafts.
