Hokiyama Koyanagi Damascus 165mm (6.5")
Koyanagi is a smaller, multi-purpose kitchen knife. The shape of the knife is unusual and perfectly combines the properties of a slicer and a petty knife. The very word Koyanagi illustrates this excellent fusion of forms and utility: Ko translates into small and Yanagi means a long and thin knife for cutting fish and meat.
The blade is 165 mm long (the width of the blade at the heel is 33 mm) and will serve perfectly for all those who are looking for a smaller and narrower knife. It is suitable for hand-free tasks and its shape and length allow for versatile use for a variety of kitchen work.
72 layers of intertwined softer steel form a strong and distinctive damask pattern. They envelop and therefore protect the core made of SKD steel, which is stainless and easy to maintain. It contains a very high percentage of carbon and is hardened to 62 - 64 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness. Koyanagi is fitted with a traditional octagonal Japanese handle made of dark ebony.
It is immediately clear when looking at this knife that the blacksmith paid a lot of attention to perfecting small details, which makes the knife a valuable addition to the kitchens of best chefs.
