Inspired by the traditional Japanese octagon handle shape, this series even features a softly twisted octagon design for a more secure grip, which is a part of special design of JKC. The blade displays 69 layers of Damascus steel in a stunning way. Coresteel refers to the 25% of components that make up the center of layers. Two steel layers of varying hardness make up theremaining 75% of the components. Both core steel’s sides are compressed alternately with soft and hard steel. By usingspecific techniques, the blade is made to resemble wave patterns. Core is made of VG-10 stainless steel. VG-10 is a somewhat tougher material, with an HRC (a measure of steel’s hardness) of roughly 60. As a result of its resistance to wear, steel retains its sharpness for longer. Pakkawood is made of resin-compressed thin wood layers. This element makes the material more resilient than natural wood. The stunning, incredibly sturdy, easily cleanable, and Naturally finished White Pakkawood handle offers comfort and the ideal balance.
The shape is basically a small Sujihiki or slicing knife. As the name suggests it is a multi-function knife used for the preparation of vegetables and precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods where a wider blade would create a stronger vacuum and ‘stick’ more to the food.
Function: Multipurpose for preparing all food groups. A favourite knife of many home cooks who are uncomfortable with large blades.
Normal length: 150mm
Tip: This knife is also used for carving petite roasts, filleting and skinning fish as well as careful dissection of poultry without hitting bones. An extremely useful size for any kitchen.
