The AKANE paring knife sits securely in the hand and is perfect for delicate cutting work.
Compact, precise, and made from 73 layers of Damascus steel with a powder steel core, it masters everything from peeling to decorating fruit and vegetables—supported by a dark rosewood handle.
Each knife is unique – with individual damask grain and a natural wood handle, which can be engraved upon request to create a truly personal work of art.
MISAKI – where quality meets art.
Fine detail work tolerates no compromise; precision decides.
The AKANE paring knife gets straight to the point: with its needle-fine tip and extremely hard edge, it allows exact starting cuts when turning vegetables, preparing prawns or creating delicate decorations. The compact build offers maximum control, even for demanding cuts.
For the finest kitchen work at the highest level.
Each blade is hand-sharpened in several steps and carefully inspected for uncompromising sharpness, maximum wear resistance and absolute control with every cut. The fine-grained powder steel core retains its edge exceptionally well and can be sharpened precisely when needed.
Suitable for:
Blade
73 layers of hammered Damascus steel with a high-alloy powder steel core (14Cr14MoVNb) and 72 layers of rust-resistant SUS 410 stainless steel.
Vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment create an extremely fine microstructure with exceptional hardness. At 62-64 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade is among the most resilient and powerful cutting tools in its class. The niobium content in the core gives the blade extreme sharpness and maximum wear resistance.
The Japanese V-grind at 15° per side guarantees uncompromising precision. Exception: the bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated grind.
The characteristic hammered finish gives the Damascus knife a distinctive character and underlines its artisanal aesthetic.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, increased stability and maximum durability with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomically shaped handle made from dark, fine rosewood sits comfortably and securely in the hand, even during longer use.
Each handle is finely polished several times to achieve an especially smooth, supple surface that feels premium and comfortable to hold.
Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
