Description & specifications
13.5 cm utility knife in multi-layer Damascus with a VG-10 core from Tawa in Osaka
One of our good partners in Japan, Tower Knives in Osaka, makes this series of knives, in which the blade is beautifully forged in several layers of stainless steel around a hard core of the well-known VG-10.
What makes these knives special, however, is not the look but the fact that they are slightly taller than comparable knives would typically be, while also being extremely thin. The Tawa knives are also ground all the way from the spine down towards the edge at a very fine angle, and that is why they cut so impressively well.
The utility knife is mainly used for cutting tasks that call for a little more precision, such as trimming meat or finer cutting of fruit and vegetables.

Maintenance & use

Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
