This handcrafted paring knife from Knifemakers combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern technology. With a 13 cm blade in VG-10 steel with 61 Damascus layers and an exclusive handle in genuine bone with brass bolster, you get a tool that is both beautiful and functional. The knife has an impressive hardness of 60–62 HRC, ensuring long-lasting sharpness.

Ideal for peeling, cutting decorative garnishes and precision work with smaller ingredients in the kitchen.

Japanese precision in every detail

The VG-10 steel in the blade has been developed specifically to hold a sharp edge longer than conventional knives. The 61 layers of Damascus steel not only give the knife a unique, flowing pattern but also contribute to its strength and durability. The handle in natural bone with brass bolster ensures a comfortable grip and good balance, which is essential for detailed work. The knife is sharpened with a double edge (50/50), so it works perfectly for both right- and left-handed users.

Master craftsmanship at your disposal

Behind this paring knife stands master bladesmith Takeshi Saji, recognised as a Traditional Master Craftsman by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. His personal signature on each knife is your guarantee of exceptional quality. Weighing 160 grams, the knife sits perfectly in the hand and gives you full control when making precise cuts, peeling or carving decorative elements for your dishes.

Maintenance that preserves quality

To preserve the knife's exceptional properties, it requires proper care. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly after use – it is not dishwasher safe. Avoid using it on frozen foods or bones, as this can damage the edge. Regular treatment with a thin layer of oil will protect the blade against rust and significantly extend its service life. By following these simple maintenance tips, you can enjoy your paring knife for many years to come.
