Takehiro is a craftsman working within that lineage, forging knives by hand using the same techniques passed down through generations of Sakai smiths. These are not factory blades: they are the product of a single maker's skill, shaped from hard carbon steel and finished with the kind of care that only comes from someone who has spent a lifetime at the forge. A vintage Sakai Kokaji Takehiro deba is a collector's piece with genuine working credentials - compact, precise, and built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use a honing rod - strop on a leather or ceramic strop to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone, single-bevel side only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a knife block or on a magnetic strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55361325105443,"sku":"Sakai Kokaji Takehirodeba140","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/2DFE07EB-158D-4B13-883E-6AA656CAFE1C.jpg?v=1785821705","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-kokaji-takehiro-deba-knife-140mm-carbon-steel-2144","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
