The Hakami Sakura chef's knife combines a Japanese San Mai construction with an expressive hammered finish!
Its 20-cm blade is suitable for preparing a wide variety of foods: vegetables, meats, fish, fruits, and herbs. The 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel core forms the heart of the blade, while the outer layers reinforce its structure. Its oval-shaped brown Pakka handle completes the design with a comfortable grip.
A hammered, versatile blade
At 20 cm, the blade features a chef’s knife profile suited for the most common cooking tasks. This length offers a good balance between cutting surface and maneuverability for slicing vegetables, carving a piece of meat, or filleting fish. The smooth cutting edge ensures a clean, even cut without a sawing motion.
The blade is built using a three-layer San Mai construction. This technique involves placing a hard steel core at the center, protected by two layers of softer steel. It combines structural strength with superior cutting performance. Here, the core is made of 10Cr15CoMoV steel, a stainless steel alloy commonly used in kitchen knives.
The grooves on the blade create a distinctive texture and can minimize contact between the food and the steel while cutting. This finish also gives the knife a look that is instantly recognizable.
A comfortable handle for everyday use
The brown handle is made of Pakka, a composite material designed for culinary use. It combines a wood base with resins to create a stable surface that withstands everyday use. Its finish feels pleasant to the touch and makes it easy to clean after each use.
Its oval shape naturally conforms to the palm and accommodates different grips. It allows you to guide the blade with precision while cutting, slicing, or chopping. This design also creates a seamless transition between the handle and the blade, without any angular edges that might interfere with your grip.
With a total length of 30 cm, the knife maintains proportions well-suited for use on a cutting board. The brown handle contrasts with the patterns on the San Mai blade and the textured finish of its hammered surface. This stainless steel kitchen knife thus combines an elegant appearance with a design focused on versatility.

Usage and Care Instructions
Use this knife on a wooden cutting board or a soft plastic cutting board. Avoid glass, stone, and surfaces that are too hard, as they can damage the blade. Wash the blade by hand with a soft sponge, then dry it immediately. To maintain an effective cut, sharpen the blade regularly with a suitable whetstone or have it sharpened by a professional. Store the blade in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in an appropriate sheath.
