Takeshi Saji VG-10 Gold Damascus Petty 130mm No Handle

If you're not yet acquainted with the artistry of Takeshi Saji, allow us to introduce you to a piece where functionality meets finesse. Saji Hamono doesn't just produce knives; they craft pieces that meld effortlessly with your kitchen, both as tools and as display pieces. We've been eyeing these for quite some time and are particularly excited about the prospect of seeing one with a shattered carbon wa handle. Let us install it for you for free when you purchase with this blade.

But let’s clarify: this isn't merely VG-10 steel. The core steel is VG-10W, an elevated variant of the esteemed VG-10, augmented with tungsten. This inclusion not only bolsters its durability but also maintains its high corrosion resistance, all while achieving a 62 Rockwell Hardness.

While the Nakiri is crafted for vegetables, the Petty, with a gentle push-cut, post a Zach Peter's Professional Sharpening touch-up, is your go-to for precision in smaller, detailed cuts. We ardently recommend adding Zach Peter's hand sharpening to ensure that your knife is at its peak from the first slice. Saji-san's knives, while exceptional, are not shipped with their edges fully honed, so either be prepared to sharpen it or let us assist you in doing so.
