Warikomi Damascus Utility Knife

The multi-layer construction combines a high-carbon Swedish steel core for extreme sharpness with outer layers of Nickel, SUS410, and J1 stainless steel. This layering provides a protective shell that makes the blade highly resistant to rust and staining while maintaining a unique aesthetic.

The 6.5-inch length is ideal for tasks that require more precision than a chef's knife but more reach than a paring knife. It is perfectly suited for slicing small vegetables, trimming proteins, and general prep work where maneuverability is key.

Like most natural wood handles, it should be kept dry and never placed in a dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help preserve the wood's finish and prevent it from drying out over time.

Because of the high-carbon steel core, we recommend using a whetstone to maintain the edge. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners or honing steels that are too aggressive, as they can damage the delicate Damascus layering.

No. The high-carbon steel core is hardened for precision and sharpness, making it brittle if used on hard materials. You should avoid cutting bones, frozen items, or very hard produce like squash to prevent chipping the edge.
