Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer Damascus lacquer | Japanese pete | 150mm | Black Shin

[The Functional Beauty of Black] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Damascus Lacquer" Series Japanese Petty, 150mm, Black

• Use (Japanese paring knife): This small, all-purpose knife is ideal for peeling, chamfering, and fine cutting. At 150mm, it's slightly longer than a regular paring knife (around 120mm), so it can be used not only for cutting fruit, but also for chopping vegetables and cutting meat on a cutting board, making it a mainstay "mini chef's knife." It's also great for making breakfast or light snacks when you don't need a larger knife.
• Handle (oak lacquer, black lacquer): The handle is made of oak, one of the hardest woods, and is then coated with layers of traditional Japanese lacquer. The deep, jet-black luster is beautiful, and the soft texture unique to lacquer also provides a non-slip effect. It has high waterproof, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties, helping it to stay clean for a long time.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)," which is rust-resistant and has excellent cutting ability. The hard steel is sandwiched between tough multi-layered steel, making it difficult to break and easy to maintain. The 33-layer Damascus pattern, combined with the jet-black handle, exudes a tranquil, elegant, and luxurious feel.
• Features: While the wooden handles of typical Japanese knives tend to deteriorate when exposed to water, this product overcomes this weakness by combining oak and lacquer, achieving overwhelming durability. The black handle further enhances the Damascus ripples, making this a knife with excellent design.

"Even a small knife should have a real presence." With its sharpness that allows you to perform detailed tasks without stress, and its beautiful jet black color that gives you a sense of exhilaration every time you pick it up, it will shine as a great supporting player in your kitchen.
