Kanetsugu Shiun Utility Knife 15 cm Red VG-10

Seki Kanetsugu Shiun Petty 15 cm

The Seki Kanetsugu Shiun Petty 15 cm Kitchen Knife stands out with its slim, narrow blade, which is perfect for precise tasks such as peeling, decorative cutting of vegetables, or filleting small ingredients. Thanks to its compact form and optimal length, it is an indispensable tool in every kitchen.

The blade core is made of VG-10 steel, a high-quality stainless alloy valued for its excellent cutting properties and high hardness of 61+/-1 HRC. This allows the knife to maintain its exceptional sharpness for a long time, resist corrosion, and be easy to sharpen. Stainless steel cladding further reinforces the blade, making it more durable.

The Tsuchime (hammered) finish not only gives the blade an elegant, handcrafted look, but also minimizes food sticking to the surface, making precise cutting easier. Thanks to its symmetrical, double bevel, the knife is comfortable for both right- and left-handed users.

The octagonal handle, made of red, lacquered Japanese oak, guarantees a stable grip, comfort, and control during use. Oak wood, known for its durability and moisture resistance, is ideal for intensive kitchen use.

The Seki Kanetsugu Shiun Petty 15 cm is the perfect choice for professionals and cooking enthusiasts who value precision and quality craftsmanship. It is ideal for cutting fruit, vegetables, herbs, and small pieces of meat.
