The Grand Chef Hamon Series by Sakai Takayuki (堺孝行) represents the harmony of Japanese tradition, advanced metallurgy, and artisanal design. Hand-finished in Sakai, Japan, this knife stands out for its beautiful wavy Damascus patterns—true to its name “Hamon” (波紋, ripple)—and its exceptional cutting performance.

Key Features

45-Layer Damascus Construction

Each blade is clad in 45 layers of Damascus stainless steel, producing a striking wave-like hamon pattern that not only adds beauty but also enhances corrosion resistance.

High-Quality Böhler Steel Core

At the heart of the knife lies Böhler-Uddeholm N685 stainless steel from Austria—known for its outstanding balance of hardness, sharpness, and durability.

Hardness up to 60 HRC

High carbon content (0.9%) for edge retention

Chromium content (17%) for superior corrosion resistance

Exceptional Performance

Razor-sharp cutting edge, designed for precision slicing, chopping, and dicing.

Double-bevel grind makes it suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

Combines sharpness, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance for long-lasting professional use.

Ergonomic Wa Handle

The knife is fitted with a lightweight octagonal wooden handle with a dark ferrule, offering a natural, balanced grip. The traditional wa-style design allows for extended use with minimal fatigue.
