Fujii Nickel Damascus 10A Petit

Hand-forged by Fujii Hamono Seisakusho in Sakai, Osaka — a city synonymous with Japan's finest blade craft for over 600 years.

This Kiritsuke Petit is built around Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel: the rare middle ground between carbon sharpness and stainless practicality. It sharpens easily, holds a refined edge and never demands the obsessive maintenance of carbon steel. The Hontanren forging method aligns the grain structure of the steel by hand — the difference shows in how the blade cuts, not just how it looks.

At 130mm, the kiritsuke tip and flat profile make this the knife you reach for when precision matters — herbs, garnishes, trimming, fine work. Light at 93g, balanced in an octagonal rosewood handle that locks into your grip and lets you rotate the blade without thinking.

This is a working knife with a quiet confidence. No flourish. Just exceptional craft from one of Sakai's most respected small workshops.

Hand wash only. Dry immediately. Sharpen on a whetstone.
