KC-844 Namishibuki Wa-Petty 135mm Damascus Kitchen Knife

To make the KC-844, many processes and many craftsmen are involved, and no effort is spared. It takes about a year to be completed! The wa-petty knife is a Japanese-style paring/utility knife. It is the perfect tool in the hand for peeling and preparing fruits and vegetables, as well as beautifying dishes with elegant cuts and garnishes. It can also be used as a petite chef knife, which is ideal for smaller hands. The handle is lighter weight and the balance of the tip is shifted toward the tip to make a nimbler performance.

These feature an amazing 101 layers of Damascus with an abrasion-resistant, high speed powder steel core to an HRC: 61±0.5. The handle is black wood w/a red micarta ring handle. You will appreciate the incredible sharpness of the blade. It will outperform due to a sophisticated technique, backed by years of abundant experience and knowledge. 

The classy octagonal handle, "八角柄 Hackaku-e", is polished to fascinating elegance. The handle end is engraved with the Kanetsune, Seki brand logo mark "Kumadori".
