Material & construction

The blade is forged in Seki, the knife capital of Japan. Made of high-quality ZA18 steel, sheathed in 62 layered damask folds that give each knife a unique, beautiful pattern. The knife is razor-sharp, stays sharp for a long time and is easy to resharpen on its own.

Use & care

Use this petty knife for precision cutting tasks — perfect for vegetables, fruit, garlic, and fine detail work. Stainless ZA-18 steel is easier to maintain than traditional carbon steel: wash with warm water and mild soap after use, dry immediately, and sharpen as needed using a quality whetstone or strop.

Who it’s for

• Home cooks and (semi-)professionals looking for a compact yet sharp knife for precise tasks.
• Lovers of Japanese design and chef-inspired tools.
• Anyone who values finesse and control over large cutting surfaces.
