The Kutoyama Damascus Pakka range is designed for cooks who are looking for more technical knives, while retaining the comfort of everyday use. It is distinguished by the use of multi-layer damascus blades, combined with robust pakka wood handles, to offer a balance between cutting performance, stability and aesthetics. Manufactured in China, these knives benefit from controlled production and are delivered in a box, ensuring optimal protection and careful presentation.
This range emphasizes precision, cutting consistency and durability, with material choices geared towards demanding yet accessible use.
A multi-layer damascus blade for precision
Kutoyama Damas Pakka knives feature damascened blades composed of 66 layers of softer stainless steel, surrounding a more rigid central core. This core is made of VG10 steel, an alloy renowned for its ability to deliver a precise, long-lasting cutting edge. VG10 contains around 1% carbon, a key element contributing to the blade's hardness, which reaches around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale.
In addition to carbon, this steel is enriched with chromium and molybdenum, enhancing corrosion resistance and structural stability. The softer outer layers play a balancing and protective role on the core, making the blade more tolerant to wear while maintaining excellent cutting performance. The superimposition of steels is visible across the entire blade surface, forming the characteristic damascus pattern.
The blade has been polished to obtain a mirror effect, highlighting the damascus pattern and facilitating cleaning after use. The cutting edge can be maintained with a whetstone or, more regularly, with a rifle, to maintain a clean, controlled cut.

A sturdy pakka handle with a meticulous finish
The handles of Kutoyama Damas Pakka knives are made from brown pakka wood, a composite material obtained by superimposing layers of laminated wood impregnated with resin, then hot-pressed. This process results in a particularly stable handle, resistant to humidity and temperature variations, while retaining the warm, natural grain of the wood.
The handle is completed by three acrylic rings, which add a touch of color and visually emphasize the structure of the handle. A stainless steel bolster and base reinforce the whole, ensuring a solid junction with the blade and contributing to the knife's overall balance.
The almost oval shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable, natural grip. This geometry suits both right- and left-handed users, enabling them to work with precision and comfort, even during long kitchen sessions.
A technical range designed for versatility in the kitchen
The Kutoyama Damas Pakka range is the right choice for those who wish to move upmarket with knives offering a more precise cutting edge and a meticulous finish. The combination of a VG10 steel core, a multi-layer damascus structure and a sturdy pakka handle ensures efficient, stable cutting, while retaining good comfort of use. This range is ideal for multi-purpose cooking, as long as you avoid excessively hard foods to preserve the cutting edge.
To preserve the knife's qualities, appropriate care is recommended. The knife should be washed exclusively by hand, dried immediately after washing and stored in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink are to be avoided to preserve the blade and handle over time.
