A Flash of Perfection in Your Kitchen

Meet the Damara 'Senko'—an elegant 5-inch utility knife designed for moments that demand surgical precision. Its name, 'Senko' (Flash of Light), reflects its lightning speed and agility. This ultra-light and nimble knife will become your indispensable assistant for any delicate work, effortlessly handling tasks where a chef's knife would be too cumbersome.

Key Benefits:

  • Master of Precision: The Petty/Utility Profile
    The perfect intermediate size between a chef's knife and a paring knife. The sharp tip and narrow blade make it excellent for fine slicing, peeling fruit, trimming sinew from meat, and any intricate work on the board.
  • Heart of Damascus Steel: Weightless Power
    Beneath 67 layers of exquisite Damascus patterning lies a durable cutting core. Hardened to 60±2 HRC, it guarantees a razor-sharp edge in an incredibly light body weighing just 88 grams.
  • "White Marble" Handle: Luxury and Control
    Each handle is a unique combination of natural wood texture and elegant white resin swirls reminiscent of marble. The ergonomic shape provides complete control, comfort, and a secure grip during precision work.
  • The 12° Edge: Slicing as an Art Form
    Hand-honed to a 12° angle per side, the 'Senko's' cutting edge glides through food with no resistance, allowing you to make clean and precise cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the same as a Paring knife?
A: No. A paring knife is typically shorter (3-4 inches) and primarily designed for "in-hand" work. This 5-inch utility knife (or Petty knife) is longer and more versatile for work on a cutting board.

Q: What's the difference between this 'Senko' (Utility) and the 'Chisai' (Santoku)?
A: The 'Senko' utility knife has a narrower blade and a sharper tip, making it ideal for precision work and piercing. The 'Chisai' Santoku has a wider blade, making it more convenient for chopping vegetables. They complement each other perfectly.
