Sakai Takayuki bunka 33-Layer Damascus Hammered WA 16 cm

Sûrement mon couteau préféré ! J'adore la prise en main, on sent que le manche est fait avec du bois solide. Les reliefs sont tout simplement sublimes, le petit signe japonais, le martelage, les vaguelettes, le pointu, le tranchant, bref tout est parfait chez ce couteau de mon côté ! La boîte magnifique aussi je recommande !

Absolutely brilliant. Looks wonderful, well balanced and not too big and clumsy. After just a few swipes on a ceramic honing rod and a leather strop with a tiny amount of honing paste, I could shave the hairs on my arm with it. It seems to hold an edge well and I use it for chopping and slicing both meat and vegetables and it requires very little effort to use. I always wash and dry it and store it in the knife block immediately after each use. I would never let the handle soak in water.
