The Hakami Sakura paring knife is perfect for tasks that require precision and control!
Featuring a 9cm blade, it’s ideal for peeling, trimming fruits and vegetables, and making precise cuts. Its San Mai construction and hammered finish give it a distinctive look, while maintaining great versatility for everyday use. Its brown Pakka wood handle completes this kitchen tool, offering a comfortable and stable grip.
A precise, textured blade
The blade of this paring knife measures 9 cm, with a total length of 20.5 cm. Its paring profile and smooth cutting edge are ideal for precise tasks: peeling an apple, removing damaged parts from a vegetable, chopping a shallot, or making fine cuts on small pieces.
It is made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, used here as the blade core in a three-layer San Mai construction. This structure consists of protecting the central steel with two outer layers, combining hardness, strength, and flexibility in the blade.
The hammered finish creates an irregular surface on the blade. This texture minimizes contact between the steel and food during cutting, making it easier for the food to release from the blade. It also gives this San Mai knife an authentic look. The smooth cutting edge ensures clean cuts without tearing the tender flesh of fruits or vegetables.
A comfortable handle for everyday use
The handle is made of brown Pakka, a composite material commonly used in cutlery for its stability and resistance to moisture. Its oval shape naturally fits the palm and is suitable for extended use in the kitchen. It allows you to hold the knife with precision during short, controlled movements.
Pakka also offers a surface that feels pleasant to the touch. Its brown color complements the hammered finish of the blade and adds a warm touch to the overall design. The handle’s design facilitates a variety of grips, whether you’re cutting while holding the food on a cutting board or directly in your hand, for tasks suited to that position.
Thanks to its compact size, this steel knife is easy to maneuver around fruits, vegetables, and small foods. It naturally complements a chef’s knife or a santoku for tasks that require greater precision. Its total length of 20.5 cm strikes a good balance between maneuverability and comfort.
