Sobre este artículo

  • MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP - Handcrafted in Sakai Japan, where more than 90% of Japanese professional chef knives are produced. It is produced one at a time manually by highly skilled master artisans. It outperforms industrially mass produced products from every aspect. The master craftsmanship shines through in every single product. The unparalleled performances make you feel standing at the pinnacle of cooking! Sheath is sold separately.
  • RAZOR SHARPNESS - Ready to use out of the box with ruthless sharpness. The core is the newly developed high carbon stainless steel ZA18 (HRC 62-63) produced in Japan, which is extremely durable. Combined with 69 layer clad Damascus construction, it gives exceptional sharpness, edge retention, durability, and ease of sharpening at the same time. You can easily feel your upgraded technique level just by using a Syosaku Knife. Hand wash only and regularly sharpen on quality whetstones.
  • VEGETABLE SPECIALIST - The ultra sharp straight blade edge is designed to make a full contact with your cutting surface. It helps you to cut vegetables without sticking together like a thread. You can effortlessly slice delicate vegetables paper-thin, or quickly chop through hearty crisp vegetables. The wider blade is convenient for scooping them up for transfer after chopping. It’s double-edged, so doesn’t matter if you are right handed or left handed. Do not use on granite countertops.
  • DURABILITY AND EASE OF USE - The high chromium content of the ZA18 alloy combined with the outer damascus steel realizes extreme stain & corrosion resistance. The material used for the handle is taken from center core of Magnolia wood, which is water-resistant and non-slip. You don’t have to worry when it’s left wet during use (recommended to wash and dry after the use). The ergonomically designed Octagonal handle and perfectly balanced construction make you comfortable even for a long time use.

Highly agile; exotic; perhaps overpriced

This knife is beautiful, mostly. On close inspection where the blade is attached to the handle, it looks a bit unsightly with glue or resin injected in to fill the cavity. I suppose most are attached like that but have a cap to cover. I poked it a bit and it felt soft like caulking, so I don't know if this little bit of flex will make it more durable or not. The handle is super light, hollow I suspect, but seems to be genuine wood. The finish is quite exotic with walnut and buffalo horn. I love the octagonal finish — it's not as bulky as I thought it might be. Typically I prefer a knife with a tapered bolster. This one has a sharp transition from the blade to the handle, so comfort is not a huge win here. However, with the light weight of the blade and the handle, and the good balance, this knife is highly agile and an excellent utility length at 6". I quite like it — fantastic for light duty jobs, and pretty to look at (except for the glue job which is neat, but I don't like seeing it). It's also incredibly sharp and cuts superbly. Nice blade, nice handle, assembly is a bit unattractive. Feels great, functions well and may possibly become well used in my kitchen. Is it worth the current listing price of $189.99? I am having a bit of trouble with that. Read more

Super sharp and light.

This Syosaku Petty Knife comes packaged in a simple box, with a Japanese instruction sheet. I asked my Japanese friend to translate for me and the instructions are pretty standard... don't put the knife in the dishwasher, sharpen it on a wet stone, etc. The knife itself is very nicely made. The blade is beautiful with the damascus finish and etched Japanese characters. The handle is finished in a matte wood with a dark stain towards the blade. The handle is comfortable to hold and the matte finish on the wood makes it easy to grip with wet hands. Compared to my Wusthof knife this Japanese knife is much lighter. That's neither good or bad, it just is. The knife is perfectly balanced in the center. The knife is super sharp. It makes easy work of everything I threw at it. It's a pleasure to use. I wash the knife by hand as soon as I finish using it and it comes out perfectly. All in all... a great knife. Read more

Great Knife for Small Things

Let me start by saying that this knife really is gorgeous. The Damascus looks amazing, and produces the typical, often unbeatable sharpness to the edge. The Japanese characters etched on the blade are a nice touch too! It really adds a classy kind of look and style to it. The knife is small, 6”, so I only use it for the smaller things I need to cut up, but it handles everything really great! The handle is walnut, and its octagonal shape makes it pretty, but it’s not the most comfortable fit for my hand, which I’m sure is mostly a preference thing! It is super lightweight, but balanced perfectly, so no complaints there! I was a little disappointed by the blob of glue where the tang goes into the handle, kind of detracting from the overall beauty of the knife. Read more

Wow!! Very lightweight

This knife is everything! I really enjoy using it, I use it for everything small. It's extremely lightweight, 65 grams to be exact. It seriously feels like nothing. The design on the blade is gorgeous and the signature on the blade is deeply engraved, super unique. Read more
