The Katana Saya Flame Olivewood 12cm Utility Knife offers an elegant and functional solution for a wide range of kitchen tasks. With its compact blade, this knife is perfect for slicing fruits, vegetables, and other smaller items, providing an excellent balance between precision and strength. While not as specialized as a paring knife, the 12cm blade offers enhanced durability and flexibility, making it an indispensable tool in any kitchen.

At the heart of this knife is the VG-10 core steel, known for its durability and edge retention. The Rainbow Damascus steel finish adds both aesthetic appeal and enhanced functionality. The vibrant, swirling patterns of copper and brass folded into the steel create a mesmerizing, multicolored effect that reflects light beautifully. This Damascus steel, a variation of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, offers a significant improvement in both strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that the blade remains in peak condition over time.

The blade is sharpened to a precise 15° angle, with a Rockwell Hardness rating of 60-61, ensuring remarkable sharpness and long-lasting performance. This high level of sharpness allows the knife to cut through fruits, vegetables, and meats with ease, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen arsenal. The blade is forged using time-honoured techniques, involving the folding of copper and brass between layers of steel to create an incredibly strong and sharp edge. This craftsmanship enhances the knife's overall durability and performance, providing resistance to wear and corrosion.

The natural olivewood octagonal handle adds to the knife’s visual appeal while ensuring comfort and control. Olivewood, with its distinctive grain patterns and rich tones, complements the shimmering Damascus steel. The octagonal shape is traditionally used in Japanese knives, offering a comfortable, ergonomic grip that minimizes hand fatigue and provides precise control. This handle design has become a favorite among professional chefs due to its lightweight, durable, and user-friendly qualities.

Presented in an attractive wooden gift box with a protective Saya (sheath), the Katana Saya Flame Olivewood 12cm Utility Knife makes a thoughtful and functional gift for culinary enthusiasts. Whether for preparing garnishes, chopping vegetables, or tackling other everyday kitchen tasks, this knife combines high-quality craftsmanship with timeless beauty and superior performance, making it a must-have in both professional and home kitchens.
