Behind the Sakai Takayuki brand is 600 plus years of knife making history by skilled craftsmen of Sakai City, Osaka prefecture. Originally famous for the production of Samurai swords, the makers in Sakai take pride in their work and never compromise on quality.
VG5 steel (59-60 HRC) delivers excellent edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen. Its vanadium creates finer carbides for enhanced performance and durability. It resists corrosion well—essential for kitchen knives exposed to acidic foods and moisture. Made with low-impurity materials and more carbon and molybdenum than VG2, plus vanadium, VG5 balances hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. While VG10 (with added carbon and cobalt) targets premium knives, VG5 delivers an optimal balance of easy maintenance and performance for various kitchen tools.
