More info
Tamahagane kitchen knives are known for their splendid look and outstanding cutting performance, and the knives from the Kyoto range are not the exception. Their beautiful damascus blades with extraordinary sharpness make these knives tools of excellent quality. This is perfectly proven by the paring knife in this page.
Indeed, this small but very useful paring knife is a real maesterpiece. It is perfect for cutting or peeling all sorts of small fruits and vegetables. Given that both of these types of foods are consumed in a daily basis (or at least they should), this paring knife is an indispensable utensil in every kitchen.
The blade has a core with 3 layers of VG5 steel, which is similar to the renowned Japanese VG10 steel but with a lower content of cobalt. This difference makes the VG5 steel more resistant to corrosion, which is a highly appreciated advantage in any kitchen knife. This type of steel is also known for a great solidity proven by the blade's high hardness rating of 61 HRC in the Rockwell scale.
Moreover, the core is covered with 63 layers of SUS410 steel, which is a steel more resistant to corrosion. The different steel layers create wavy lines on the blade's surface that give the knife an original look. A blade with this beautiful effect on its surface is commonly known as a damascus blade.
The handle of this knife is made of a composite material widely used in kitchen utensils: micarta. This material is known for its anti-bacterial properties, its durability, and its resistance to water and to the changes in temperature. In addition, the veinings on the surface are the perfect complement for the aesthetic blade.
To preserve the quality and beauty of this knife, it is very important to take good care of it. You should always avoid the dishwasher as it is recommended to wash it by hand. Dry it immediately using a soft cloth that won't scratch the blade. Finally, to hone the blade, the best option is to use a whetstone with fine grains.
Last but not least, we can't forget to mention that this knife is sold in a an elegant, black box. Therefore, if you are looking for the perfect gift for a professional chef, a fan of fine Japanese cutlery, or simply for you, this knife is the perfect solution!
