A versatile blade
The Hakami Tsubaki knifefeatures an 18-centimeter blade made of 67-layer Damascus steel. Its santoku profile makes it suitable for a variety of tasks: chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, slicing boneless meats, and preparing fish. This compact shape offers good control on the cutting board, while still providing enough length to handle foods of various sizes.
The 67-layer construction creates the distinctive patterns characteristic of a Damascus blade. This finish gives the blade a distinctive visual identity and lends this kitchen tool a refined look. The smooth cutting edge is ideal for clean cuts, provided you use a suitable cutting board and take care to preserve the edge during use.
The dimples on the blade limit prolonged contact between the steel and the food. They also help certain slices glide more easily during cutting. The 18-cm blade is particularly well-suited for everyday food preparation, when you’re looking for a kitchen knife made of steel that’s easy to handle and doesn’t take up much space.
A natural wood handle
The olive wood handle has an oval shape that naturally conforms to the palm. This design promotes a comfortable and stable grip, while allowing you to guide the blade with precision. The natural grain gives each piece a slightly different appearance.
With a total length of 31 cm, the knife remains well-balanced for everyday food preparation tasks. The handle provides enough space to adjust finger placement depending on the technique used: pushing, pulling, or slicing.
The olive wood also lends a warm finish to this Damascus steel knife. Its natural hue complements the blade’s patterns and creates a harmonious whole. As with any wooden handle, proper care is necessary to preserve its appearance and stability over time.
