Hakami Tsubaki 12 cm Utility Knife with Damascus Blade and Olive Wood Handle

This Hakami Tsubaki utility knife combines a compact 67-layer Damascus blade with a handle made of natural olive wood!

A precise and versatile blade

It’s perfect for a wide range of everyday tasks: cutting fruit and vegetables, mincing herbs, preparing small pieces of meat, or making precise cuts. Its medium size offers excellent maneuverability while still providing enough length to work efficiently. The Damascus blade and olive wood handle create an elegant combination, designed for lovers of fine kitchen utensils.

The 12-cm blade features a smooth cutting edge and allows for precise cuts on small and medium-sized foods, while remaining exceptionally easy to handle during short, precise movements. It’s particularly useful for peeling, trimming, mincing, or preparing ingredients directly on the cutting board.

Composed of 67 layers of Damascus steel, the blade features a wavy pattern that varies from one knife to the next. This construction gives each knife a unique visual identity. The Damascus finish highlights the blade’s lines, while the smooth cutting edge ensures a clean, even cut.

A natural wood handle

The handle is made of natural olive wood. Its warm hue and irregular grain give each piece a unique appearance. As with any natural wood handle, the shades may vary from one knife to another.

Its oval shape naturally fits the palm and ensures a comfortable grip during repeated use. This design makes it easy to guide the blade for precision cuts, back-and-forth motions, or preparing food directly on the cutting board.

The olive wood also provides an elegant finish that complements the dark, wavy pattern of the Damascus blade. With a total length of 24 cm, the knife remains a manageable size that’s easy to control!

Usage and Care Instructions

Use this kitchen knife on a wooden cutting board or a soft surface to preserve its sharpness. Avoid cutting through bones, frozen foods, and twisting the knife while cutting. Clean the blade by hand with a soft sponge, then dry it immediately. Store it in a suitable place, away from other utensils. Regular sharpening with an appropriate whetstone will help maintain an effective cut.
