Vegetable Knife - VG10 - 17cm - 37-Layer - Handmade - Pakkawood

Japanese decorative knife in Aogami steel with exceptional sharpness

The Knifemakers Rengas decorative knife is a handcrafted precision tool made from Aogami steel with a hardness of 62 HRC. This 90 mm knife combines Japanese craftsmanship with an elegant handle made of Rengas wood (Borneo rosewood) and oak, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics in the kitchen.

It is ideal for precise cuts in vegetables, peeling, decorative carving, and handling smaller ingredients, where attention to detail makes all the difference.

Masterful Japanese craftsmanship in every detail

Behind each decorative knife is the renowned knife maker Tsutomu Kajiwara, a third-generation member of a Japanese smithing family. Aogami steel (#2 blue paper steel) contains small amounts of tungsten and chromium, providing the knife with an exceptionally durable edge and sharpness that is hard to match. The octagonal handle made of Rengas wood combined with oak ensures perfect balance and a beautiful appearance, traditionally assembled with small wedges for maximum stability.

Precision that elevates your kitchen skills

The compact 90 mm blade allows you to execute even the most intricate cuts with millimeter precision. The high hardness of 62 HRC means the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, even with intensive use. You will notice the difference in both workflow and end results when using a tool designed to meet professional standards. The lightweight design and perfect balance reduce wrist fatigue and give you complete control over every cut.

Proper maintenance ensures longevity

To preserve the knife's exceptional qualities, it should always be washed by hand and dried immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it can damage both the edge and handle. The knife is not intended for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard items. For optimal protection, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil after drying. With the right care, this knife will be your faithful companion in the kitchen for many years.
