Whether you're peeling, trimming, or intricate slicing of fruits and vegetables, this compact knife delivers exceptional control and effortless cutting performance every time.

Blade: 73-Layer Damascus Steel with VG10 Core

The blade is forged from 73 layers of powder steel core Damascus steel featuring a premium VG10 core hardened to 62–64 HRC.

The high-quality olive wood handle is warm to the touch, naturally water-resistant, and uniquely grained — meaning no two handles are exactly alike. Secured with elegant copper flower nails, the handle is ergonomically shaped for a secure, comfortable grip during detailed cutting tasks. The polished finish gives this knife a high-end, heirloom-quality appearance worthy of any kitchen.
