G. Sakai "KU" Damascus Gyuto 8" kitchen knife
G. Sakai
G.Sakai was established in 1958 under the name”Sakai Hamono” as a Japanese knife manufacture. Sakai Hamono was greatly inspired by Gerber Legendary Blades and succeeded in cooperation with the american company in 1977. After changing the name to G. Sakai, the company has continued expanding the life of the original products under brand name. G.Sakai produces high fixed blade knives, folders and kitchen knives.
The blade consists of core steel & 16-layer-outer-steel (32 layers on both sides). The core steel is VG-10 which is superior in wear resistance as well as edge retainment. The outer steel is laminated of two different steels, which is repeatedly hammered and folded. This process finally creates 16 layers of beautiful Damascus pattern on the surface of the steel. The 16-layer damascus combined with the super steel VG-10 makes the KU highest quality.
