Saji SG2 Diamond Damascus

Sanmai - Stainless Clad Etched SG2 / R2 / Stainless Stainless Clad Takefu, Japan

The Takeshi Saji SG2 Diamond Damascus line comes from the Japanese bladesmith Takeshi Saji. The blades are made from SG2 powdered steel, which takes a keen edge and holds it through long use.

The deep etched Diamond Damascus pattern leaves a textured surface that improves grip and control.

The range runs from the Gyuto to the Sakimaru Sujihiki. The handles are made from ironwood and wenge, and the knives sit balanced and comfortable in the hand.
