Build Your Dream Knife
For over a decade, we have been working with a small selection of top-ranked Japanese forge smiths to make Traditional Forged Knives for our knife collections at JCK.
Due to the forge smith’s extensive experience in hammer forging and traditional handcrafting processes, their special efforts, continuous research, and the craftsmen’s hard work and dedication, we can now offer high-end traditional forged knives and knives made with premium Japanese Steels.
For a while, we have dreamt of offering you a wide variety of traditional Japanese Wa handles, so you can choose your favorite and build your own “dream knife”. This will make the knife and blade feel even more special, original and personalized.

Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom “Silver Color” Nickel Damascus TSBO-14 Wa Sujihiki 270mm (10.6 Inch)
“Wild” and “dynamic” are the words that best describe this Saji VG-10 custom Damascus kitchen knife.
The blade is made with a VG-10 core forged Nickel Damascus Stainless steel (HRc. 62) and features a traditional Japanese Hamaguri-Ba (Convex) blade grind that provides remarkable cutting performance.
The layers of white-colored Nickel steel in this Damascus blade contrast strongly with the layers of stainless steel, producing a powerful wavy Damascus pattern that truly sparkles.
Nowadays, VG-10 steel blades have become popular and very commonplace in the market. However, many users of VG-10 kitchen knives have still not noticed that VG-10 steel blades have the potential to offer great cutting ability, edge retention and strength, provided that the blades have been properly hammer forged, heat-treated, ground and sharpened.
The long, narrow, graceful blade of the Sujihiki is particularly useful for trimming away sinew and fat from meat, finely slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip.

About Left Handed Version
This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.
For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
Instructions & Maintenance
We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for long times.
Important
This is the Stainless steel blade kitchen knife that has a good rust resistance for easy maintenance. However, it may get rust, if kept in wet condition.
- Please do not put the knife in the dishwasher machine for cleaning.
- Please do not leave the knife in water or wet condition for long time.
- After using, please hand wash the blade, bolster and handle thoroughly, and wipe it clean and dry with soft clothes, and keep it in dry place.
- This is an extremely sharp knife. Please use special cares in using and storing it.
- Unlike German made knives, Japanese knife blades are ground to thin cutting edge for sharper cutting and easier re-sharpening. Please protect the edge from hitting hard materials to avoid chipping or cracking.
- Please do not use it to cut bone or frozen foods, any hard shell foods such as lobster and crab.
- We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.
