The **Sakai Takayuki Tokujo 08441 kyo-saki** is a remarkable Japanese kitchen knife. Recognizable by its thick spine and short, but straight edge. By pushing the spine of the knife during use you can easily cut through the spine and solid bones of the eel. The thick spine of the knife is welded together. The welding seam is enhanced with a thin layer of clay. This looks like rust, but was added to prevent rust. 

The kyo-saki is an eel knife that is mostly used in the Kyoto region. An area in the south of Japan. With this kyo-saki you can cut with both the Kanto and the Kansai-style. The recognizable short handle provides you with more grip than you might expect. In addition, the pushing movement of the knife is easier to carry out because the end of the handle is placed in the palm of your hand.

## Unagasaki knives: specialist Japanese eel knives.

There are many different types of eel knives and also different ways of filleting eel. The Kanto style and the Kansai style. Which style is used depends on the region. The Kanto-style is cutting open and filleting the eel alongside the spine. The style comes from the Kanto region where cutting open the eel via belly is associated with seppuku. This is a taboo and cutting via the belly would be bad luck. That is why they prefer filleting the eel via the spine.

The Kansai-style, you might have guessed it, comes from the Kansai region. With this style you fillet the eel via the belly. In this region the samurai spirit was much less present. Opening and cleaning the eel via the belly is easy and simply faster which is why they prefer this style.

## Sakai Takayuki Tokujo: steel with a remarkable grind

The knives are enhanced with a core made from White #2 Steel. Also called Shirogami #2. It is a very pure type of carbon steel which they harden to an extremely high hardness. As such they can apply a very thin grind, making the knives razor-sharp. The knives are not corrosion resistant. Read more about [how to maintain Japanese kitchen knives here](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm).

The knives have a one-sided grind. Because of this grind the edge pushes the slices off the blade. To make cutting even easier, the other side of the blade is enhanced with 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.

## Sakai Takayuki Tokujo: handle made from Magnolia wood and buffalo horn

The traditional octagonal handle is made from magnolia wood. This is a light type of wood, both in weight and colour. The crop is made from black buffalo horn. In addition to it looking graceful, the crop also ensures that the knife is perfectly balanced. Take into account that wood and horn are natural products. The product you receive may differ with regard to 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.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

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.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
