A damascene blade for precise cuts
The Hakami Tsubaki paring knife combines a handy size with a blade designed for precise food preparation. Measuring 9 cm in length, its paring knife profile is ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables, trimming ingredients, and cuts that require precise control of the tip. Its total length of 20.5 cm offers a pleasant balance between precision and comfort.
The blade is crafted from Damascus steel composed of 67 layers. This construction creates a wavy pattern visible on the metal surfaces and gives the knife a distinctive aesthetic, a technique highly prized in Japanese cutlery.
Its smooth cutting edge allows for clean cuts through fruits, vegetables, herbs, and small food items. This steel knife fits easily into any kitchen knife collection thanks to its versatile size. It is also ideal for users looking for a Damascus steel knife that combines a decorative finish with everyday practicality.
A comfortable olive wood handle
The handle is made of natural olive wood. Its oval shape naturally fits the palm and supports the precise movements required for kitchen tasks. This design is ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing, keeping the blade stable and aligned.
Olive wood provides a warm finish, with natural hues unique to each piece. It gives this damascene-bladed knife an authentic look, while maintaining a simple design suitable for regular use. It remains comfortable to hold during food preparation tasks that require several successive movements.
Thanks to its paring knife profile and 9-cm blade, this kitchen tool is ideal for preparing fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, shallots, or garlic cloves. It can also be used to remove damaged parts, score certain foods, or make small decorative cuts. Its compact size facilitates precise, controlled movements directly on a cutting board.
