At a glance
- The listing says the blade is hand-sharpened to a 15-degree angle for cutting fruit and other small ingredients.
- A pakkawood handle is described as ergonomically shaped for a comfortable, stable grip.
- The manufacturer identifies the steel as Japanese 10Cr15CoMoV and claims a hardness of 58 ± 2HRC. These are listing claims, not independent measurements.

- The pakkawood handle and forged construction offer a traditional small-knife format.
