Sakai Takayuki | 33-layer hammered Damascus Japanese style | Japanese pate | 180mm | Zelkova

[Colorful Japanese Modern Style] Sakai Takayuki's "33-Layer Hammered Damascus Japanese Style" Series Japanese Petty, 180mm, Keyaki (Zelkova)

• Use (Japanese Petty 180mm): This 180mm long knife is slightly longer than a typical petty knife (120mm-150mm). Its length makes it versatile enough to be used not only for cutting fruit, but also for slicing meat, julienne vegetables, and even for preparing main dishes as a "small chef's knife." It's a "hidden gem" popular among professionals, perfect for small kitchen spaces or when you want to do a little cooking without bringing out a large cutting board.
• Handle (Keyaki x Mahogany): The main material of the handle is made of Japanese zelkova, a precious wood with beautiful grain and high durability. The accent ferrule (fastener) is decorated with reddish-brown mahogany. The bright color of the zelkova and the chic mahogany create a beautiful contrast, blending traditional Japanese atmosphere with a modern, contemporary design that will brighten up your kitchen.
• Material (Blade): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG-10." It is rust-resistant and maintains a razor-sharp edge for a long time. The 33-layer Damascus pattern, combined with the warmth of the natural wood handle, creates an elegant and luxurious feel.
• 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 ham from sticking to the blade, allowing for crispy, light cooking.

"Easy to use, looks great, and is comfortable." With an excellent size that can be used as a main knife or a secondary knife, and a beautiful handle that evokes the warmth of wood, this knife will make your daily cooking more enjoyable.
