Takamura Tsuchime Petty 13 cm VG-10

A small and extremely handy kitchen knife for universal use – Takamura, with a 130 mm blade – suitable for processing smaller products. Perfect for working with mushrooms, garlic, or shallots.

The successful Takamura VG-10 kitchen knife collection is characterized by high quality and a combination of craftsmanship and practicality. The strong core of each knife is forged from VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel. It is worth noting that it has been specially designed to produce the best kitchen knives – it combines the ideal combination of sharpness, resistance to discoloration, and durability. The core is surrounded by protective soft steel. The blades have been finished in a special way – thanks to the use of the “Tsuchime” technique, these knives have a unique, beautiful appearance, reminiscent of hammered steel. As a result of the heat treatment process, their extremely thin and sharp blades achieve a hardness of 60-62 HRC. Each of them has been sharpened by hand, which can be felt from the very first use. The matching Pakka wood handle provides a beautiful finish. The tasteful gift boxes in which each Takamura VG-10 knife is packed are also an aesthetic accent.
