Messer Sammlung

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (prefecture of Fukui), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His lab is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji Steel products (especially damask) with which he made various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for finishes (mostly natural), the essential lines - evocative use - and the color combinations of rare impact make his accomplishments unique and unmistakable in the panorama of the cutlery world and at home, have earned him the prestigious Master title.
