The Range - Kurokage Hammered with Teflon Coating
The Sakai Takayuki Kurokage range features the same incredible performance and quality of their famous VG10 range but with a Teflon coating giving a very distinctive black finish and non stick properties meaning it literally glides through good.
The Steel - VG10 Stainless Steel
This range is made using VG10 stainless steel. VG10 is the perfect mid-point in stainless steel offering amazing sharpness out of the box, excellent retention and easy maintenance.
The Model - Gyuto
The Model - Kiritsuke Santoku
Similar to a Gyuto chef’s knife, the Santoku offers a large light blade with a taller profile and a flatter belly, making the knife excellent for a more ‘up and down’ chopping motion for meat, fish or vegetables. Blades vary from 160mm to 180mm. This is a great knife if you want an all rounder with shorter blade and a good weight to it.
Kiritsuke is simply an angled finish at the tip as opposed to the more rounded end of a traditional Santoku.
