Sakai Takayuki Paring Knife 150mm – 33-Layer Damascus (Model No. 7391)

Description:
Sakai Takayuki is one of the most respected names among knife enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Founded in Sakai, Osaka, the brand carries over 600 years of knife-making tradition, dating back to the 16th century when knives were first crafted for tobacco trimming. Among its most renowned smiths is Itsuo Doi, grandson of the legendary Keijiro Doi, who continues the masterful forging heritage of Sakai.

This Paring Knife 150mm is a refined and versatile version of the traditional Japanese petty knife. Perfectly suited for peeling, slicing fruits, and preparing small ingredients, it also serves as an ideal companion to larger all-purpose knives like the Gyuto or Santoku.

The blade showcases a striking 33-layer Damascus pattern with Hammered Finish, providing not only beauty but also practical function—helping food release more easily during cutting. The handle is crafted from Spanish Mahogany Pakkawood, resin-infused for extra strength, durability, and resistance against moisture and warping.
