This 10" Meglio Blade Show Custom Sakimaru Sujihiki is a love letter to precision craftsmanship. Brandon Hampton hand-ground each S-grind with meticulous care, creating a blade geometry that exists nowhere else—a singular expression of his vision in the fabled Micro-Melt PD#1 steel from Carpenter Technology. The choice here is purely to make the best of a high-performing blade for the finest cuisines.
The handle tells a similarly unique story. That striking orange Dark Matter carbon fiber evokes the cosmos itself, a swirling reminder that beauty and function are inseparable. Paired with black and orange G10 liners and blue titanium hardware, it's a composition that feels both timeless and utterly contemporary. Every curve, every angle, every hand-finished detail reflects Brandon's devotion to functional artistry. The satin blade catches light like a whisper. The spine, finished by hand, settles into your grip with the confidence of something made to last generations.
This isn't a knife that compromises—it's a knife that refuses to. For those who understand that the finest tools are those that marry soul with steel, this custom sakimaru awaits.

Care & Maintenance:
Carbon Steel Essentials - This blade is carbon steel, not stainless. It demands proper care but rewards you with superior edge retention and performance.
After Each Use - Wipe dry immediately. Hand wash only—never use a dishwasher. Moisture invites rust.
Patina Development - Your blade will develop a natural patina with use—a protective darkened layer, not rust. This is the steel's natural defense.
Between-Use Protection - Condition regularly with mineral oil, camellia oil, or food-grade wax. Apply a thin coat to both sides and wipe away excess. This simple step prevents rust and maintains the patina indefinitely. Treat this blade as the precision instrument it is. With proper care, it will serve you for generations.
