The Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb 8 cm paring knife is an indispensable tool for all cuts requiring precision and control. Thanks to its short, handy blade, it allows you to work with finesse on fruit, vegetables or small pieces of meat. This compact size is particularly appreciated for delicate gestures and detailed work, while offering an excellent sense of control.
Made in China, this knife benefits from controlled production and is presented in a box, ensuring good protection during storage or transport. It is an ideal complement to the larger sizes in the Damascus Honeycomb range.
A VG10 damascus blade dedicated to precision
The blade of the Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb paring knife is based on a damascened construction, with a rigid central core surrounded by 66 layers of softer stainless steel. This multi-layer structure ensures a precise, long-lasting cutting edge, as well as good stability in use. The damascene pattern, visible all over the blade surface, highlights the superimposition of the different steels.
The blade core is made of VG10 steel, an alloy containing around 1% carbon. This carbon content enables a hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, for excellent edge retention. VG10 is also enriched with molybdenum and chromium, enhancing the blade's corrosion resistance and stability over time.
The blade has been polished to achieve a mirror-like effect, making it easy to clean after use while highlighting the damask pattern. Thanks to this hardness, the cutting edge can be maintained with a whetstone or, more frequently, with a sharpening rifle to maintain a clean cut every day.
A wood and resin handle in a honeycomb design
The handle of the Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb paring knife is made from a combination of wood and resin, two materials renowned for their strength and durability. The combination of these two materials forms a honeycomb pattern, giving the knife an original and distinctive visual identity.
A red acrylic ring completes the handle, adding a touch of color and emphasizing the transition between the different materials. The bolster and base are made of stainless steel, ensuring a solid connection with the blade and contributing to the knife's overall balance.
The oval shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable, natural grip. It is equally suited to right-handed and left-handed cooks, enabling them to work with ease, even during prolonged use.
A compact knife for everyday use
The Kutoyama Damascus Honeycomb 8 cm paring knife is the right choice for those seeking a precise, handy and user-friendly tool for fine cuts. Its damascus blade with VG10 steel core ensures a clean, even cut, while its wood and resin handle offers comfort and stability. We recommend avoiding foods that are too hard, such as bones or squash, to preserve the sharpness and structure of the blade.
To preserve the knife's qualities, proper care is essential. We recommend washing the knife exclusively by hand, drying it immediately after cleaning and storing it in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink should be avoided to preserve the blade and handle over time.
