With a length of 13 centimeters, the blade of this knife is a true masterpiece. It is made of 3 different layers of VG10 steel, which explains why it has such great strength and robustness. Moreover, tha blade has great endurance thanks to its high level of hardness (61 HRC) which is a common characteristic in most Japanese kitchen knives. With this knife, cutting food will shortly become a much easier task to do !

Furthermore, this knife has a beautiful handle with traditional Japanese design. It is made of white oak wood, which adds a touch of warmth to your kitchen utensils, and it is connected to the blade through a black bolster that is made of polypropylene. The comfortable grip of this knife lets you have full control over all your cuts. In other words, you will become the true chef in the kitchen ;)

In order to guarantee a long lifespan for your knife, it is important to take good care of it. For instance, to make sure that your blade does not get any rust spots on its surface, we recommend you to always wash it by hand and dry it immediately afterwards. Another good advice for taking care of the blade is to sharpen it only with whetstone that has fine grains. Using coarse grains can actually end up damaging the edge of the blade.
