The Takumi Utility Knife bridges the gap between chef’s and paring knives, delivering versatility and precision in one elegant tool. Its slim, 5.5" SRS13 Core Damascus steel blade is ideal for trimming vegetables, slicing smaller cuts of meat, or handling detailed prep work with accuracy and control. Enhanced by vacuum heat and deep freeze treatment, the blade offers superior sharpness, edge retention, and long-lasting durability.

The desert ironwood handle pairs natural beauty with ergonomic comfort. Its striking grain, secure grip, and balanced weight ensure effortless handling, making it as reliable as it is refined. Lightweight yet strong, it’s the knife you’ll instinctively reach for when a chef’s knife feels too large and a paring knife too small.

The Takumi Series is where tradition meets innovation. At the heart of the collection, the Takumi Bunka features a distinctive angular blade designed for versatility—effortlessly handling everything from fine vegetable prep to slicing meats with precision and speed. Its wide, pointed profile makes it equally effective for chopping, dicing, and garnishing, making it one of the most adaptable blades in any kitchen.
