Kutoyama 13cm honeycomb damascus Utility knife

A damascened blade for this Universal knife

The Universal knife is designed for a wide range of cutting applications! Its small blade is ideal for precision cutting of a wide variety of foods: fruit, vegetables and even meat. Be careful not to use it on hard foods such as bones or squash.

This knife features a damascened blade, a method of forging a rigid steel core surrounded by several layers of softer steel. For this model, 66 layers of stainless steel surround the core of the blade.

The core is made from VG10 steel, an alloy enriched with around 1% carbon, which increases the blade's hardness to 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This alloy also contains a high chromium and molybdenum content.

Thanks to this hardness, the blade's cutting edge can be maintained with a Sharpening stone, or more regularly with a Sharpening steel.

What's more, the blade has been polished to a mirror-like finish, allowing you to admire the different layers of steel superimposed all over its surface.

A kitchen knife for all hands

This Universal knife features a handle made of resin and wood, materials renowned for their strength and durability. The blend of the two materials creates a honeycomb pattern, offering an original design.

An acrylic ring adds a touch of color to the handle, which is also complemented by a stainless steel bolster and base.

The oval shape of the handle is designed to suit both left- and right-handed users, guaranteeing a comfortable grip, even for prolonged use.

This stainless steel knife is made in China and presented in a gift box.

To care for your Kutoyama knife, wash only by hand and dry immediately before storing in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or soak in the sink.
