Maintaining the ancient tradition of hand forging, MITSUMOTO SAKARI CO., LTD. is committed to handcrafting each professional chef's knife through a meticulous process that takes a minimum of 90 days to complete. Located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, this independent design and development center combines traditional Japanese hand forging techniques with thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide quality kitchen knives that have earned the recognition and praise of millions of professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

The MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-inch Professional Japanese AUS-10 Damascus Gyuto Chef's Knife exemplifies this fusion of old and new. The blade is forged from renowned Japanese Aichi AUS-10 high-carbon Damascus steel, repeatedly folded and fused through a combination of hand forging and advanced precision techniques to create a 2.2mm-thick blade with exceptional toughness, unique grain patterns, superior sharpness, and long-lasting edge retention.

A deep cryogenic treatment and a Rockwell hardness of 60±2 HRC further enhance the blade's performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from cutting delicate fruits and vegetables to effortlessly slicing through boneless proteins, especially fish. The ergonomically designed, finely hand-polished PakkaWood handle provides exceptional comfort and balance, complementing the knife's Damascus blade for a truly pleasurable cooking experience.

Packaged in a premium sandalwood gift box, the MITSUMOTO SAKARI Damascus Gyuto Chef's Knife not only serves as a high-quality kitchen tool but also a stunning work of art, making it a thoughtful gift for home cooks and professional chefs alike. To ensure the longevity of this exquisite piece, proper maintenance is crucial - washing it with water after each use, drying it thoroughly, and storing it in a dry, ventilated place.

Combining advanced precision forging technology and traditional hand forging methods, MITSUMOTO SAKARI's 67-layer Damascus steel forging process creates blades that are finer-grained, stronger, and harder, allowing for a thinner profile and a longer-lasting edge. This commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the brand's products, from the carefully crafted handles to the meticulous attention to detail in the packaging.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a passionate home cook, the MITSUMOTO SAKARI Damascus Gyuto Chef's Knife is a tool that will elevate your culinary experience, blending the rich heritage of Japanese knife-making with modern innovation and superior craftsmanship.
