Sakai Takayuki Aji-Kiri Knife

The Aji-Kiri is a compact variation of the Deba knife, designed for processing small fish like horse mackerel or sardines. Its smaller size makes it ideal for detailed work and easy handling in home kitchens.

Made from high-carbon steel with a single bevel, this knife delivers precise, razor-sharp cuts. Though there are minor patina marks typical of steel knives, the blade edge itself shines with a clean silver finish. It features a water buffalo horn handle and represents the quality craftsmanship of Sakai Takayuki.

The knife has been sharpened and is ready to use upon arrival. Please handle carefully when opening. The price includes sharpening.

It features a slightly faded engraving of "堺孝行" (Sakai Takayuki).

A beautifully balanced small Deba, ideal for precise fish prep. Great for home chefs looking for a professional touch in a compact, refined blade.
