This paring knife is indispensable for your daily kitchen tasks! Its small blade is ideal for precision work. Whether you're cutting meat, fruit or vegetables, it's a versatile knife. It should not be used on hard foods such as squash or frozen products.
A Japanese kitchen knife with an elegant blade
The blade of this Japanese knife boasts an elegant damascened finish, achieved through a special forging process. This technique involves superimposing several layers of steel to create a rigid core enveloped by softer layers of steel, guaranteeing perfect balance and great strength.
The core of the blade is made of VG10 Japanese steel, containing around 1% carbon, giving it high hardness. In fact, this Japanese paring knife achieves a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, ensuring a long-lasting, high-performance edge for all your cutting needs!
The damascened blade is composed of 68 layers of stainless steel superimposed around a central core. This structure offers extra protection while balancing the hardness of your blade. The steel layers visible all over the blade form distinctive, elegant patterns, adding a unique aesthetic to this Japanese kitchen knife.
The ergonomic handle for cooks
The handle is made of pakkawood, a composite material renowned for its resistance to moisture. Composed of resin and laminated wood, pakka wood is hot-pressed, giving it great strength. You benefit from the advantages of a composite material while retaining the natural, authentic look of wood, thanks to its distinctive grain.
This damascus knife features a Western-shaped handle, designed to provide a comfortable grip for both right- and left-handed users. Its ergonomic design ensures optimum maneuverability, even during long cooking sessions.
The handle is fitted with 3 stainless steel rivets, ensuring secure attachment of the full tang blade. In addition, a stainless steel bolster is integrated to provide the ideal balance between blade and handle.
To care for your Japanese knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge. After cleaning, be sure to dry it immediately to remove any moisture, and store it in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
