It is expertly ground to a matte finish, with a highly polished edge at a 12-degree double bevel—perfect for precise, effortless slicing and dicing. The traditional octagonal pakkawood handle, complemented by a white ring, offers an ergonomic grip, seamlessly attached to the blade for stability and comfort. This small but mighty knife excels as a versatile utility tool, ideal for nimble chopping, slicing smaller ingredients, or delicate work on your cutting board. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, each knife is built to last a lifetime, backed by a comprehensive warranty.
