The Sakai Takayuki Inox Japanese Chef's Petty Knife and similar models in the Sakai Takayuki Inox double bevel range are reliable, everyday Japanese kitchen knives crafted in Sakai, Osaka — a region with centuries of blade-making heritage. The Inox name refers to stainless steel construction, designed to balance rust resistance, ease of maintenance, and everyday performance. These knives are typically hardened to around 57–59 HRC, giving them good edge retention while staying easier to sharpen and less brittle than higher-hardness carbon or powder steels. 

Unlike single-bevel traditional Japanese knives, double bevel (50/50) edges make them versatile and approachable for a wide range of users, from home cooks to professionals. The symmetrical grind allows for intuitive sharpening on both sides and smooth cutting for general chef tasks — slicing, dicing, and chopping. Handles are usually classic Japanese-style wood or octagonal grips, offering comfortable control and a timeless look. Overall, the Inox double bevel line delivers good performance at a practical price, ideal for daily kitchen use with lower upkeep than carbon steel alternatives.


Care Instruction
  1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
  2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
  3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
  4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
  5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
  6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

  • Profile: Petty

    Utility, Paring

    The Petty knife, a smaller Japanese utility knife, serves as an ideal tool for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. With a blade length ranging from 120mm to 180mm (4.7 to 7 inches), it stands out for its ability to handle detailed work like deveining shrimp or cutting garnishes. Its slightly longer and slimmer profile compared to the Western paring knife enhances its functionality for intricate tasks, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen toolkit.

  • Steel: Inox

    The Sakai Takayuki Inox line uses stainless steel (“Inox” from inoxydable) designed to offer a practical balance of performance, durability, and low maintenance. Typically hardened to around 57–59 HRC, it takes a sharp edge while remaining easy to sharpen and more forgiving than harder, brittle steels. The stainless composition gives excellent resistance to rust and staining, making it suitable for users who prefer less upkeep compared to traditional carbon steels. While edge retention is moderate and may not match high-end carbon or powder steels, the Inox line excels in everyday kitchen use, especially for home cooks and professionals wanting reliability and ease of care.
