This is a Sakai Takayuki VG10 Kengata K-tip Gyuto 190mm, the short chef's shape with the kengata tip.
The workhorse line from Sakai Takayuki's Aoki Hamono workshop, founded in Sakai after the war and now run by the third generation of the family. The listing describes the construction: a VG10 stainless core, valued for edge retention and stain resistance, under thirty-three layers of hand-hammered soft Damascus cladding, each knife hand sharpened before it ships.
The listing gives this one a 190mm blade.
Wash with a neutral detergent after use and wipe it dry rather than putting it in the dishwasher, which would damage the wood handle, and sharpen it on a waterstone when it needs it.
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.
