When large knives become too unwieldy, the HIKARI paring knife comes into its own.
Short, agile, and ground from 67 layers of Damascus steel, it's perfect for peeling, carving, and parrying. The amber-colored sycamore handle fits comfortably in both small and large hands.
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.
Suitable for:
Blade
67 layers of Damascus steel with an edge-retaining 10Cr15CoMoV core and 66 layers of corrosion-resistant 316/316L stainless steel.
The blade is vacuum heat-treated, one of the most advanced hardening technologies in the world, for an especially uniform structure, smooth surface and outstanding edge retention. With a hardness of 60-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale, it offers the ideal combination of resilience and long-lasting cutting performance.
The Japanese V-grind at 15° per side ensures uncompromising sharpness. Exception: the bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated grind.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, high stability and maximum durability, even with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomic handle is made from selected, light figured sycamore maple.
The natural grain makes each knife unique. Multiple polishing steps create an especially smooth surface for secure grip and comfortable handling, even during longer use.
Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
