Tokushu Yoshikazu Tanaka Blue #1 Damascus Gyuto 210mm (No Handle)

Experience the unparalleled craftsmanship of Yoshikazu Tanaka, a master blacksmith with over 50 years of experience in Sakai’s elite blacksmithing community. This Tokushu Yoshikazu Tanaka Blue #1 210mm Damascus Gyuto showcases Tanaka’s renowned attention to detail and expertise.

Tanaka’s forging process is unique, involving the use of pine charcoal during quenching for a gentle, gradual heating effect. He limits his production to just 30 knives daily, ensuring precision and care in each piece. As one of the few Sakai blacksmiths who uses a tempering kiln, Tanaka brings exceptional heat treatment to each blade.

This Gyuto features Tanaka's distinctive wavy cladding line between the hagane (core steel) and jigane (outer layer), exposing more core steel—a hallmark of his style. With its Aogami #1 (Blue #1) core and non-stainless Damascus cladding, this knife is both a high-performance tool and a collector’s piece.
