Takayuki Sakai | 33-layer hammered Damascus | Petty | 80mm

【An Extension of Your Fingertips】Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Petty Knife 80mm

• Usage (Petty 80mm): The most compact size in the series at 80mm. Its exceptional maneuverability feels like an extension of your fingertips. It is ideal for small tasks such as peeling apples or potatoes, hulling strawberries, and slicing garlic. It truly shines in delicate tasks that require precise control—such as decorative carving or tourné cutting held directly in your hand without a cutting board.
• Handle (Mahogany): The handle is crafted from Mahogany, a premium wood prized for high-end furniture and musical instruments. Despite its compact size, the handle exudes an elegance reminiscent of a gemstone with its rich, reddish-brown luster. Mahogany is highly durable, water-resistant, and corrosion-proof. Its warm texture fits perfectly in the palm, providing the subtle feedback necessary for intricate work.
• Blade Material (VG-10 Steel): The core is forged from high-grade VG-10 stainless steel. Despite the small blade size, it offers a razor-sharp edge comparable to full-sized knives, combined with excellent rust resistance. The beautiful 33-layer Damascus pattern harmonizes with the classic mahogany handle, adding a sophisticated accent to your kitchen.
• Finish (Tsuchime - Hammered): The blade surface features a hand-crafted "Tsuchime" (hammered) finish. These precise indentations create air pockets between the blade and the food, preventing juicy fruits or small slices from sticking. This allows the knife to glide through even soft ingredients effortlessly, ensuring a beautiful, professional finish without crushing the shape.

"Uncompromising Quality in a Compact Form" For those details that a large chef’s knife simply cannot reach. By pairing this with your primary knife, you will drastically improve both the efficiency and the quality of your cooking. It is a reliable supporting player that meets even the strict demands of professional chefs.
