“Build Your Dream Knife” Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom Black Nickel Damascus TSBO-6 Wa Paring 100mm (3.9 Inch)

Build Your Dream Knife

For over a decade, we have been working with a small selection of top-ranked Japanese forge smiths to make Traditional Forged Knives for our knife collections at JCK.

Due to the forge smith’s extensive experience in hammer forging and traditional handcrafting processes, their special efforts, continuous research, and the craftsmen’s hard work and dedication, we can now offer high-end traditional forged knives and knives made with premium Japanese Steels.

For a while, we have dreamt of offering you a wide variety of traditional Japanese Wa handles, so you can choose your favorite and build your own “dream knife”. This will make the knife and blade feel even more special, original and personalized.

Build Your Dream Knife now, right here.

Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom Black Nickel Damascus TSBO-6 Wa Paring 100mm (3.9 Inch)

“Wild” and “dynamic” are the words that best describe this Saji VG-10 custom Damascus kitchen knife.

The blade is made with a VG-10 core forged Nickel Damascus Stainless steel (HRc. 62) and features a traditional Japanese Hamaguri-Ba (Convex) blade grind that provides remarkable cutting performance.

The layers of white-colored Nickel steel in this Damascus blade contrast strongly with the layers of stainless steel, producing a powerful wavy Damascus pattern that truly sparkles.

Nowadays, VG-10 steel blades have become popular and very commonplace in the market. However, many users of VG-10 kitchen knives have still not noticed that VG-10 steel blades have the potential to offer great cutting ability, edge retention and strength, provided that the blades have been properly hammer forged, heat-treated, ground and sharpened.

The Paring knife is useful for a variety of commonplace kitchen tasks, but it is primarily used for peeling and accurately shaping fruits and vegetables. Paring knives are particularly useful when cutting small items held in the hand, which makes them indispensable in the kitchen and an ideal companion for Gyuto knives.
