Petty Knife – Sazanami Series with Walnut Handle

Sazanami means “ripple” in Japanese. The Sazanami name comes from the series’ wonderful, wave-like Damascus pattern near the edge of the core blade.

This is a series of stainless clad knives. The core blade is made of VG10 stainless steel, which is then sandwiched between other stainless steels. Cladding makes the knife stronger and allows for patterns on the blade’s exterior without compromising the blade’s quality. The Sazanami series have Damascus patterns and a Tsuchime (hammered) finish to emphasise the blade’s beauty.
