Sakai Takayuki 33 Layer Damascus Nakiri Knife 160mm (6.3")

For Mother’s Day, my son gave me a Japanese Damascus VG-10 Sakai Takayuki knife.
This knife has simplified my life and enhanced my cooking.
In the past, I was a little afraid of sharp knives, so I used cheap, blunt knives.
This Japanese knife has changed my ability as a cook.
Now I can chop, slice, cube, dice, and shred with ease and precision.
Every day I eat an abundance of vegetables and fruits and cook a variety of dishes.
Chopping onions I now feel masterful.
Slicing raw sweet potatoes or carrots or cubing butternut squash is nearly effortless.
To cut frozen Brussels spouts in half is zip, zip.
Plus the precision makes finely chopping garlic or ginger simple.
Cutting the rind of a pineapple and creating edible slices takes less than a minute or two.
Watermelon can be sliced with ease.
The knife is easy to manage because of the weight in the handle and the design of the blade.
It is not a chef’s knife. The design is specifically for vegetables.
This knife is the best Mother’s Day gift I have ever received.

This knife is gorgeous and expertly made. It's a joy to use, and we look forward to every opportunity to use it! We received wonderful service from Midori who helped guide us to making the right purchase, and answering all of our questions. Thank you!
