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 Saji Black R2 Office knife is made by Takeshi Saji, a third-generation blacksmith working in Takefu. This Japanese city is known for the making of quality knives for the last 700 years. 

Due to perfect weight distribution between blade and handle, the handling of the knife is ergonomic and optimal.

As with most Masakage knives, the heel of the blade is rounded inward to allow a more comfortable use of the pinch grip. The heart of the blade is made of the incredible resilient R2 powdered steel. This all-purpose japanese cooking knife is perfect for all the daily cutting tasks.

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''.
