A refined all-purpose knife for everyday cuts
The Sayuto Maple Damascus 14cm utility knife has been designed for precision, ease of use and comfort in everyday preparation. More compact than a chef knife, it is particularly comfortable for working with fruit, vegetables, herbs or small pieces of meat with speed and precision. Its 14cm blade offers an excellent compromise between control and versatility, making it an easy knife for everyday use.
This all-purpose Damascus blade knife is immediately appealing for its well-crafted aesthetics. The coppery undulations visible on the blade contrast elegantly with the light shades of the sycamore maple handle. Its careful balance and natural grip further enhance its premium character.
A damascened blade designed for precision
The 14cm blade enables precise cutting without feeling bulky. This universal format is ideal for users looking for a versatile knife capable of handling fast-paced preparation tasks with fluidity. Its compact size also enhances control during meticulous gestures.
The core of the blade is made of 12Cr18MoV stainless steel containing around 1.2% carbon. This high content ensures a long-lasting, precise cutting edge, while remaining relatively easy to maintain. Thanks to the addition of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, this steel also benefits from good corrosion resistance and appreciable wire stability during regular use. This knife offers a good compromise between performance, sturdiness and ease of sharpening.
Beyond its composition, this blade benefits from careful forging that improves the distribution of material within the steel. The result is a more compact structure in which the fibers naturally follow the profile of the knife. This organization contributes to improving the overall quality of the blade, while enhancing the mechanical properties of the steel used.
The blade achieves a hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This level of hardness enables the knife to retain an effective cutting edge for longer, while remaining compatible with regular stone maintenance.
Surrounding the core is a 37-layer damascus structure. The top layers are made of 316L stainless steel, copper and brass to create magnificent copper ripples visible all over the blade. The result is a unique look for every knife.
Thanks to its flat cutting edge, the blade inserts easily into food and ensures comfort during cutting. It also promotes stable, ambidextrous cutting, particularly pleasant for precision work and everyday preparations.
Comfortable maple handle
The knife's handle is made from sycamore maple wood, a species appreciated for its light, natural grain and discreet elegance. Each handle has its own nuances, giving each knife a unique visual identity.
The octagonal shape of the handle ensures a stable, intuitive grip. This geometry improves finger positioning and provides a pleasant feeling of control during repeated cutting. The handle remains comfortable even during prolonged use.
The bolster and base are made from padouk wood, an exotic species with deep reddish-brown hues. The contrast between padouk and sycamore maple lends relief to the whole and underlines the knife's high-end character.
Wood paste fills the natural gaps between blade and handle. This finish improves the knife's overall appearance, while enhancing stability and comfort of use.

Our advice on use and care
To ensure the long-lasting preservation of your Sayuto Damascus Maple utility knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge and neutral soap. Dishwashing is not recommended, as it may damage the sharpness and natural materials of the handle.
After cleaning, dry the blade and handle immediately with a clean cloth to avoid any traces of moisture. Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board to preserve the cutting edge.
To maintain optimum cutting quality, regular sharpening with a stone is recommended. Between uses, storage in the included wooden case protects the damascus blade and preserves the aesthetics of the knife.
