Sakai Kikumori Choyo Blue 1 K-Tip Petty 135mm Blue #1

Sakai Kikumori has been making knives since 1926, and since then they have become known as a top brand from Sakai. They work together with some incredibly skilled blacksmiths and grinders who, in collaboration, create some fantastic products.

The Choyo series is forged by the legendary Yoshikazu Tanaka, and is sharpened by the equally renowned sharpener, Morihiro. An iconic pair of partners who each bring something very special to the field. An incredibly good hardening of the blade from the experienced blacksmith, and a fantastic grinding job from Morihiro-san. Morihiro-san makes the blade stand out with a fantastic mirror polish on the top of the blade, and further down starts his signature Wide-bevel grind.

It is built in 3 layers. Tanaka-san's blue #1 at the core, which he is also known to be the absolute best at hardening, and soft iron on the outside.

The knife is a 210mm chef's knife, and works as a perfect all-around knife for any kitchen. The knife is used for meat, fish and vegetables
