The Sakai Kikumori VG10 Tsuchime Damascus Petty 150mm is a precise, versatile utility knife designed for detailed prep and in hand work. Made in Sakai, it reflects a focus on balance, sharpness, and consistency that defines the region’s knife making tradition.

The VG10 stainless steel core delivers a sharp, stable edge with strong corrosion resistance, making it easy to maintain for daily use. Stainless damascus cladding adds durability and subtle visual depth, while the tsuchime hammer finish helps reduce food adhesion during cutting.

With its compact blade length and nimble feel, this petty excels at trimming, peeling, portioning, and fine detail work. It offers excellent control on the board and in hand, making it a natural complement to a gyuto or santoku in any kitchen setup.

Finished with an ebony mono handle, the knife feels secure and well balanced. The dense hardwood adds understated refinement while maintaining a practical, comfortable grip.

This is a low maintenance Japanese petty knife built for precision tasks, everyday reliability, and quiet Sakai craftsmanship.

We endeavor to provide precise measurements and accurate photographs of our products. However, owing to the handcrafted nature of many items, slight variations may occur.

Please Note: Our Japanese knives are crafted for precision and fine slicing. They are not suitable for cutting bones, frozen foods, or other hard items. To preserve the edge, always use on soft cutting surfaces such as wood or high-quality plastic — never on glass, stone, or metal boards, which can chip or damage the blade.

Sakai Kikumori

Sakai Kikumori has been working with some of Japan’s top blacksmiths since 1926. Originally founded as a knife wholesaler, they built strong relationships with skilled makers in Sakai and beyond. What sets them apart is their ability to collaborate directly with individual craftspeople to create unique and high-quality kitchen knives.

Being a smaller company gives them the freedom to do things differently. Instead of mass production or chasing trends, they focus on producing knives that stand out for their performance, build quality, and attention to detail. Many of the knives they bring to market come from close partnerships with traditional blacksmiths and sharpeners. These knives are made with purpose and designed for real use.

Over time, Sakai Kikumori has developed its own lines that reflect both deep tradition and a willingness to innovate. The quality of these collaborations speaks for itself. These are well-made tools meant to be used and appreciated by people who care about cooking.

We carry a selection of Sakai Kikumori knives that show what they do best by blending classic Japanese craftsmanship with thoughtful design and practical performance.
