After years of testing every knife he can get his hands on, this particular 240mm gyuto profile is one of his favorites. After spending nearly a year of designing and redesigning, this knife is the end result. With a spine thickness of only 2mm, and weighing about 6 oz (170g), this qualifies as what knife enthusiasts like to call “lasers”. An ultralight and thin knife that knife purists absolutely love, and with a profile that has been perfected by Ryky’s personal input.\u003cbr\u003eOn top of everything, Ryky was able to partner up with one of the most famous blade makers in all of Japan, Sakai Takayuki. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin (Made in): \u003cspan\u003eSakai, Osaka Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Sakai Takayuki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Type: Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: \u003cspan\u003eMonosteel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: \u003cspan\u003eDouble-edged Blade (50\/50 Grind)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Type: AUS8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 58-59 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 240mm (9.4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Height (at heel): 47mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine Thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbove heel: 2.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle: 2.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Custom Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Hachikaku (Octagonal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Teak \/ Walnut \/ Wenge \/ Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuchiwa: Black \/ White Buffalo Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 383mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeak: 139g (4.90oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalnut: 141g (4.97oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWenge: 144g (5.08oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony: 158g (5.57oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMark (Front)\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eIn Japanese Kanji \"\u003cem\u003eSakai \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTakayuki\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" (堺孝行\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) ; \"\u003cem\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMark (Back): Ryky 1 of 200 Launch Edition*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n*Note: 200 knives are made for each handle type. \"1 of 200 Launch Edition\" is printed on every knife, meaning \"one of two hundred\" out of the same handle type.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Sakai Takayuki 堺 孝行\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSakai Takayuki is Sakai's top knife maker and artisan workshop.
