Sakai Takayuki TUS Steel Santoku 180mm
The Takayuki S/S line is probably the very first choice for those of you who is thinking of giving the famous Japanese kitchen knives a try. If you have been using the much thicker German knives forever, then the thinner Japanese knives will bring you into a whole new world.
This line is also perfect for young chefs / students / apprentices with limited budget looking for performance.
Utilizing the state-of-the-art AUS8 steel, the knife is relatively hard yet not very chippy. It is super easy to sharpen and is able to get to a crazy sharp edge.
