This is a Sakai Takayuki TUS steel gyuto, a slim 210mm all-purpose knife that makes a good first Japanese knife for a home cook.
The listing rates the blade at HRC60 to HRC61 and describes it as relatively hard, not very chippy, super easy to sharpen and able to take a keen edge, a step up from the thicker Western knives many people grow up using. The handle is a Western style grip.
The listing positions this line as the sensible first Japanese knife for someone coming from thicker Western blades, and the right kind of tool for young cooks on a budget who still want performance.
Hand wash and wipe dry after use, no dishwasher, and sharpen it on a waterstone; honing rods are not suitable for these knives.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
