Complete care Instructions >

• Your go-to knife for smaller jobs like peeling and slicing small produce or hulling strawberries.
• Hybrid construction combines fundamental Japanese knife-making techniques with durable German engineering principles.
• Forged blades comprise 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel for a harder blade–a 60+ Rockwell rating–while a steel bolster and full hybrid tang construction improve balance.
• Meticulously hand-sharpened by craftspeople using the three-step Honbazuke method–a sharpening process that results in a super-sharp, 12° edge.
• Stunning (green or espresso) pakkawood handles–infused with resin to increase resistance to cracking–are contoured for amazing comfort and grip.
