Nanairo Master Chef Sashimi Knife 270㎜

Introducing the Nanairo Master Chef Sashimi Knives—a stunning fusion of tradition and innovation that embodies the rich heritage of Japanese craftsmanship. Just as "rainbow" captures a spectrum of colors in English, "nanairo" reflects a vibrant multitude in Japanese, making it the perfect name for this colorful line of traditional knives.

Born from a collaboration between renowned Sakai Takayuki Inox knife makers and masters of Echizen lacquerware, these knives are a testament to exceptional beauty and functionality. The handles, crafted from durable, waterproof ABS, offer hygiene and resilience that surpasses traditional wooden handles. Each handle showcases unique designs, highlighting traditional Japanese artistry.

Japanese swords have long been symbols of status and craftsmanship, and this legacy extends to our Sakai Takayuki knives. Each blade is meticulously forged by folding selected steel multiple times, resulting in unparalleled sharpness and brilliance. It's said that the human soul resides within the sword, a philosophy reflected in the artistry of our knives—true works of art descended from this ancient craft.

When you hold a Nanairo knife, you'll notice its perfect balance and pleasantly warm feel, reminiscent of a classic wooden handle. The blades, made from high-performance stainless molybdenum steel, are expertly ground and sharpened by Sakai's skilled craftsmen. Their superior geometry and razor-sharp edges make them ideal for the most demanding professional chefs, designed specifically for cutting various foods, including fish and vegetables.

We invite you to experience the Sakai Takayuki brand, which embodies the time-honored techniques of Sakai’s knife-making tradition.
