Takeshi Saji VG-10 Tsuchime Polished 210mm Gyuto with Western Yellow Horn Handle
Takeshi Saji’s name is legendary in the knife world and for good reason. As one of the founders of Takefu Knife Village, he helped shape what has become a renowned hub for Japanese knife-making alongside icons like the now-retired Katsushige Anryu and the late Masami Asai. Saji-san started out crafting hunting knives, and that rugged inspiration is clear in his kitchen knives today. This VG-10 core gyuto is no exception – it brings the tough feel of a hunting knife into the kitchen, with the added convenience of stainless steel for easy maintenance.
The VG-10 core steel, clad in stainless, keeps this knife sharp and corrosion-resistant. The tsuchime (hand-hammered) finish isn’t just functional; it’s a work of art. Saji-san’s unique tsuchime pattern sets his blades apart, adding a rustic yet polished look that feels right at home in both modern and traditional kitchens.
And let’s talk about the handle – crafted from Western yellow stag horn with a brass bolster, it gives off that hunting knife vibe while being perfectly balanced for the kitchen. The combination of the textured handle and blade is both functional and undeniably eye-catching.
The 210mm length is a favorite for a reason. It’s versatile enough for both home cooks and professional chefs, hitting that sweet spot where the knife feels nimble yet substantial. Think of it like wearing a slightly oversized, cozy shoe that allows for extra movement without compromising control – this gyuto is designed to handle everything from fine slicing to robust chopping with ease.
