Takamura Suminagashi 150mm Petty

Takamura Damascus 150mm Petty Knife

After owning this knife for the last five years I can honestly say it has brought me abundant joy. It's small yet powerful and an absolute pleasure to use. The Takamura Suminagashi 150mm petty knife comes with a matching black wooden saya (sheath).

The Elite Range From Takamura Hamono

The Suminagashi range represents the pinnacle of knife making for Takamura. Over a period of 20 years Takamura Hamono have perfected the art of forging R2 steel into kitchen knives. Takamura Suminagashi knives feature an 'ink stain' pattern acid etched into the alternating soft and hard layers of the blade. The damascus pattern is further enhanced by a light acid etch that brings out the beauty of the hammer forged damascus. The Suminagashi range features increased hardness with the added benefits of a fine grain steel for ease of sharpening.

The Takamura Edge

All powder steel knives produced by Takamura Hamono are ground to a razor fine double hamaguri edge. These advanced level knives are seriously sharp. Users must be careful not to cut dense items as you may damage the edge. We do not recommend these knives to anyone who feel their knife skills may need brushing up. If you are a little rough with your knives this knife is not for you.

Please note:

• This blade is sharpened to a fine edge and will chip if mishandled
• Use only on foods with no hard seeds, bones or tough parts
• Do not slice through the caramelized parts of meat or crackling
• Don't chop roughly on the board, use a smooth slicing action

Knife care for stainless steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
