Knife Information

Who doesn't want a whale knife? Hand-forged carbon steel with soft iron clad. A perfect utility/chopper with great edge retention. 

STEEL BREAKDOWN – Blue Steel is a traditional high-carbon steel made by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It is the favourite steel of many knife makers and chefs across the world for its fantastic edge holding ability, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It contains few stainless elements, and as such will develop a patina, and develop rust spots if left wet after use. It requires a little more care and maintenance than something like VG-10 (Stainless Steel), so consider this when purchasing a Blue Steel knife as your first Japanese knife.

Knife Information

Takeshi Saji has perhaps one of the widest ranges of blade finishes and stylistic creations of any blacksmith in Japan. He works with all Japanese Carbon Steels, as well as R2, VG10, and others. He crafts his own Damascus in Rainbow, Diamond, and Black Nickel finishes, and fits a wide range of handle types. He can truly do it all, and all at the ripe young age of 73. To this day he produces functional works of art out of the Takefu Knife Village in Japan, surrounded by other like-minded craftsman. 

Best paired with a camellia oil, wooden saya and a 1000/6000 whetstone

1 x Sake pourer - 9cm x 13cm

2 x Sake cup - 5.8cm x 4cm

01 Gold is forged with a double tablespoon volume (one ounce) to handle bolder pours and more generous measures with grace. The bowl is wide and full, offering a steady cradle for sauces or stocks, while the edge curves into a fine tip for controlled drizzling or glazing. The handle is slightly weightier, offering balance when stirring a stew or lifting from a deep pot, yet refined enough to finish a dish with finesse. The rim is smooth and gently rounded, designed to sweep through mixtures and sauces with ease and precision.

Form-
Inspired by the worn and tarnished steel often found at flea markets, and modeled after old American and European silhouettes the spoon is tumbled and unpolished. This creates a matte and imperfect material finish. Each piece is stamped and etched, then finished by hand on a lathe in Mr. Okada’s workshop.
