Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer hammered Damascus Japanese style | Japanese knife | 150mm | Zelkova

[The Warmth of Modern Japanese Style] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Hammered Damascus Japanese Style" Series Japanese Petty, 150mm, Keyaki Wood

• Use (Japanese paring knife): At 150mm, it's slightly longer than a typical paring knife (around 120mm). It's great for finely chopping fruit, but its length also makes it useful as a mini chef's knife for chopping vegetables on a cutting board or cutting small pieces of meat. It's a convenient size that's perfect for preparing breakfast or making light snacks.
• Handle (Zelkova): The handle is made from Zelkova, a precious Japanese wood. It is strong and durable, and has been used as a building material for temples and shrines since ancient times. Its beautiful grain is a distinctive feature. The bright and warm color brightens up the kitchen, evoking a traditional Japanese feel while blending naturally into modern spaces.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10 (VG-10)." Its rust-resistant and hardness ensures a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge. The 33-layer Damascus pattern harmonizes with the bright natural wood pattern, creating an elegant and gentle atmosphere.
• Finish (Hammered): The surface of the blade is given an uneven texture (hammered) as if it had been hammered by a craftsman. This processing creates a layer of air between the food and the blade, preventing cut foods such as cucumbers and cheese from sticking to the blade, allowing for crispy, smooth cooking.

"The gentleness of wood in the kitchen." With a zelkova handle that fits comfortably in your hand and a beautiful Damascus blade, this is a knife that you will grow to love and that will soothe your soul with every use.
