The **Sakai Takayuki Blue 2 Steel Japanese Style 01297 mukimono** is a stylish Japanese kitchen knife that is widely used for the Japanese art of Mukimono. Mukimono is the decorative cutting of fruit or vegetables to garnish a dish. A mukimono knife can be recognized by its pointed, very sharp tip and straight edge. 

## Sakai Takayuki Blue 2 Steel: steel with a remarkable grind

The knives are made from Blue 2 Steel. Also called Aogami #2. It is a very pure carbon steel with the addition of small amounts of chromium and tungsten. The steel may be a little less traditional because of this, but it also ensures that blue paper steel can handle corrosion or chipping, and it is also easier to sharpen than pure carbon steel. Despite the additions, however, it is certainly not a stainless steel! You still need to be careful with acids and moisture. Wash the knife by hand immediately after use and then dry it with a dry cloth.

The grind is just as remarkable as the steel. The knives have a one-sided grind. Because of this grind, the edge pushes the slices off the blade. To make cutting even smoother, the other side of the blade has a hollow grind. This subtle cavity means there is always a little air between the ingredient and the knife, for the lowest possible resistance! This allows you to cut wafer-thin, delicate slices.

Sharpening a one-sided and hollow-grind blade is slightly different than a standard kitchen knife, where you sharpen both sides of the blade at the same angle. First sharpen the sharpened side of the blade. As soon as you feel a burr on the other side of the knife (on the hollow-ground side), place the knife with this hollow side flat on the sharpening stone to remove the burr. 

## Sakai Takayuki Blue 2 Steel handle made from ebony wood and buffalo horn

The traditional octagonal handle is made from ebony wood. This is a dark hardwood that doesn't just look beautiful, it is also highly resistant to moisture. The crop is made from black buffalo horn. In addition to looking graceful, the crop also ensures that the knife is perfectly balanced. Please take into account that wood and horn are natural products. The product you receive may differ in terms of pattern and colour. The materials used remain the same.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.
