Takeshi Saji - Nakiri Knife 170mm in corno di cervo - VG-10 a 32 strati - coltello cucina verdure
Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Maestro.

Takeshi Saji - Miyabi Kenryu - Coltello Artigianale
Takeshi Saji è nato nel 1948 a Takefu (prefettura di Fukui), una città situata all'incirca nel centro del Giappone e nel cuore di una zona da secoli votata alla produzione di lame. Il suo laboratorio è ancora lì, costruito intorno al forno grazie al quale, ormai da parecchi anni, Takeshi Saji forgia l'acciaio (soprattutto damasco) con cui realizza vari modelli di coltelli tradizionali giapponesi. La scelta dei materiali per le finiture (prevalentemente naturali), le linee essenziali - evocatrici dell'utilizzo - e gli accostamenti cromatici di raro impatto rendono le sue realizzazioni uniche e inconfondibili nel panorama della coltelleria mondiale e, in patria, gli sono valse il prestigioso titolo di Maestro.

Kitchen Knives FAQ
Japanese knives are harder, with sharpening angles around 15°, ideal for extremely precise but more delicate cuts. European knives (German and Italian) are more robust, easier to resharpen, and more tolerant to impact, perfect for intensive use.
No, it is strongly discouraged. Aggressive detergents, high temperatures, and impacts damage the edge and the blade surface. It is always preferable to wash knives by hand and dry them immediately after use.
