Established in 1947, Aoki Hamono Seisakushi Co. (青木刃物製作所) produces under the brand name "Sakai Takayuki (堺孝行)". Their products maintains the traditional skills of Sakai's Japanese knives and demonstrate the skills of world class masters.

About the Shape - Gyuto

The Gyuto (牛刀) is a type of Japanese kitchen knife that has a double-bevel blade, meaning it is sharpened on both sides. It is similar to the western-style chef’s knife, but it is usually thinner, lighter, and sharper. The name Gyuto means “cow sword” in Japanese, because it was originally used for slicing beef.

About the Series - Grand Chef

The Grand Chef series is a collection of high-quality knives that have been crafted with a rich history of 600 years in Sakai, Japan, by Aoki Hamono. These knives are made from the highest-grade Swedish stainless steel by Bohler-Uddeholm.

This series' knives are known for their durability and razor-sharp edges. The blade is entirely made of this special stainless steel alloy, which has very low impurities, is highly rust-resistant, and offers exceptional sharpness. The knives are hardened to about HRC 61~62, ensuring that they last a very long time.

About the Steel - Swedish Steel

Swedish steel, which could be the AEB-L, Sandvik 19C27, or UX-10 used by Misono. They are generally easy to sharpen and popular among some makers due to its predictable nature.
