The Sakai region earned its reputation supplying samurai swords before pivoting to kitchen cutlery, and the same principles of hard steel, precise geometry, and meticulous hand-finishing carried over. Soichi-marked knives represent the work of a dedicated individual smith rather than a factory - each blade a direct expression of the maker's skill. A vintage Sakai Soichi deba is a working antique: a tool built to last generations and still capable of outperforming modern production knives in the right hands.\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":55361322647843,"sku":"Sakai Soichi deba170","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/18462C75-B4A7-4CC8-801E-11F92BC60CD2.jpg?v=1785807267","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-soichi-deba-knife-160mm-carbon-steel-2143","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
