Sakai Takayuki - Moonlit Waves

The Sakai Takayuki Moonlit Waves knife range is a refined example of Japanese craftsmanship, designed to balance performance, elegance, and ease of use. Featuring a VG10 stainless steel core clad in rust-resistant stainless steel, these knives offer excellent edge retention while remaining relatively simple to maintain. The VG10 core steel takes a fine edge with ease, and the stainless cladding protects the blade from corrosion—making sharpening and daily care straightforward, even for those new to Japanese knives.

Visually, the Moonlit Waves series is striking, with a rippling blade pattern reminiscent of moonlight reflecting on water - a testament to the forging and finishing process. Paired with a comfortable Western-style yo handle, these knives offer a familiar feel while delivering the precision of traditional Japanese blades.

With their combination of aesthetic appeal, durable construction, and user-friendly characteristics, the Moonlit Waves range makes an excellent introduction to Japanese knives and a thoughtful, easy to care for and practical gift for aspiring or experienced cooks alike.
