Sakai Takayuki | Coreless Damascus | Small Bunka Knife | 135mm | Wenge

[A Revolution in Cutlery] Sakai Takayuki's Coreless Structure with Wenge Handle, Small Bunka Knife, 135mm

• Uses: A "Kobunka" is a knife that is just a smaller version of a Bunka knife (Santoku knife). At 135mm, it is similar to a paring knife, but the blade is wider, so your fingers won't get in the way when chopping on the cutting board, making it a "mini Santoku" that can handle small cooking tasks like cutting vegetables and portioning meat, just as well as a main knife. Its sharp tip makes it great for detailed work.
• Innovative "Coreless" Structure: Unlike most knives, this blade lacks the "core" found in other knives. Instead, it's made up of approximately 70 alternating layers of hard VG-10 and resilient VG-2 steel, making the entire blade the cutting edge of this revolutionary knife. The combined properties of these two steels result in a tough blade that's "hard yet unbreakable," as well as an incredible long-lasting edge that continues to develop no matter how much you sharpen it.
• Design: The Damascus pattern, created by the intricate interweaving of different metals, has a mysterious beauty that shows a different expression for each piece. Combined with the straight lines of the Kobunka form, it exudes an overwhelming presence despite its small size.
• Handle: Made from the precious wood "Wenge," known for its hardness and beautiful grain. By deliberately using a "no-joint" finish, the handle allows you to directly feel the texture and warmth of the wood itself, resulting in a simple, modern design.

"I don't need a big knife, but a paring knife just isn't enough." This luxurious sub-knife is perfect for situations like these, with no compromises on looks or performance.
