Paring Knife, 9 cm, Takefu Yellow Bull, VG-10 61 Layers

Takeshi Saji paring knife with 61-layer Damascus and bone handle

This handcrafted paring knife from the Knifemakers Yellow Bull series is a masterpiece created by Japanese bladesmith Takeshi Saji. With its 9 cm blade in VG-10 steel with 61 Damascus layers and a distinctive bone handle with brass bolster, the knife combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern functionality.

Ideal for precision tasks such as peeling, detailed trimming and handling smaller ingredients in the kitchen.

Japanese precision in every detail

The blade's VG-10 steel core gives the knife exceptional sharpness and durability with a hardness of 60–62 HRC. The 61 layers of Damascus steel not only create a unique, flowing pattern but also improve the blade's strength and resilience. This means you can work with greater precision and use less force when cutting, whilst the knife stays sharp for longer than conventional knives.

Comfort and balance in the hand

The natural bone handle with brass bolster not only gives the knife an authentic character, but also ensures perfect balance and a comfortable grip. Weighing 160 grams, the knife has a reassuring weight that provides control without becoming tiring during extended use. The double-ground edge (50/50) makes the knife suitable for both right- and left-handed users, so everyone can benefit from the Japanese precision.

As a recognised Traditional Master Craftsman, Saji creates knives that impress visually and perform exceptionally in the kitchen. The grey Damascus blade with its distinctive pattern makes the knife a talking point, whilst the sharp edge and ergonomic design ensure that even the most demanding kitchen tasks become a pleasure.
