Takeshi Saji’s Chinese Cooking Knife series feature beautiful R2, VG10 and SRS13 Damascus-patterned blades which provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge as well as its beautifulness and unique design with custom-made feeling.

The surface of the blade is black-finished to highlight the Damascus texture for more elegance.


The stylish handle on the knife is hand crafted out of desert ironwood or natural antler (deer horn) with stainless bolster, which is water resistant and beautifully buffed. It is so easy to grip and it’s weight is very well balanced.


Please be noted that the stock of Saji Knives is extremely limited. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
