Simón Damascus Japan Olivo 6" Utility Knife

Simón SJ Damascus Japan Olive Utility Knife

The Simón SJ Damascus Japan Olive Utility Knife is a versatile and highly refined kitchen knife designed for precision slicing, trimming, and everyday food preparation. Expertly crafted in Japan, this elegant utility knife combines traditional Japanese knife-making techniques with premium materials to deliver exceptional cutting performance, balance, and craftsmanship.

Featuring a 15 cm (6-inch) Utility blade, this knife is ideal for slicing fruits, vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, and a wide variety of medium-sized ingredients. Its practical size bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef's knife, making it one of the most versatile tools in any kitchen.

The blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a premium VG-10 steel core, renowned for its outstanding sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Hardened to over 60 HRC, the blade maintains a razor-sharp edge for extended periods while providing the durability required for daily use. Each knife is hand sharpened using traditional ceramic water stones and finished with a polished Damascus surface that enhances both aesthetics and cutting efficiency.

Built according to traditional Japanese Hocho construction, the blade tang is securely fitted into the handle, resulting in an exceptionally lightweight and responsive knife. The construction creates a subtle forward balance toward the blade, offering superior control and effortless slicing performance.

The handle is crafted from beautiful olive root wood, carefully selected for its distinctive grain patterns, durability, and natural warmth. An elegant buffalo horn bolster complements the traditional Japanese design while adding strength and visual sophistication.
