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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eInnovative \"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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"武士の刃物 - BUSHI KNIVES","offers":[{"title":"135","offer_id":47733554544891,"sku":"14417","price":35200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5317\/3755\/files\/8756CB85-C4D7-4469-B625-789ED569C748.jpg?v=1766198921","url":"https:\/\/bushiknives.com\/products\/sakai-takayuki-coreless-damascus-small-cultural-knife-135mm-wenge","provider":"武士の刃物 - BUSHI KNIVES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
