This Office knife, also called Petty knife, is a typical Japanese cooking tool used on a daily basis for all smaller, precise cutting tasks in the kitchen: peeling, pitting fruit, chopping herbs, creating garnishes. Once you start using it, you'll always want it within reach.

The blade's heart is made of R2 powered steel, which has an extremely fine structure, and clad by multilayered damascus.

The Saji Office Ironwood knives are made by Takeshi Saji, a renowned Japanese master blacksmith.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948, in the Takefu Knife Village, famous for its high concentration of traditional blacksmiths. As the third generation of blacksmiths in the Saji family, he trained with his father as soon as he finished high school, until he was 30 years old. He was then officially on his own, and in 1992 he was certified ''Traditional Master Craftsman'' by the '' Ministry of International Trade & Industry''.
