A Flash of Inspiration in Your Kitchen

Meet the Damara 'Hirameki'—an ultra-light 5.5-inch utility knife designed for tasks where precision and agility are everything. Its name, "Hirameki" (Flash of Inspiration), perfectly captures its essence: lightning-fast work and the ease it brings to the cooking process. When a chef's knife feels too big and clumsy, and a paring knife feels too small, the 'Hirameki' becomes your perfect choice.

Key Benefits:

  • The Kitchen's Swiss Army Knife: The Utility Profile
    The perfect in-between size (140mm) makes this knife incredibly versatile. It excels at slicing small vegetables, trimming meats, filleting small fish, and performing precise board work that requires finesse.
  • Heart of Damascus Steel: Weightless Power
    Beneath 67 layers of forged Damascus steel lies a core of 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon steel. Hardened to 60±2 HRC, it guarantees a razor-sharp edge that lasts incredibly long, all in a knife weighing less than 100 grams (97g).
  • "White Marble" Handle: Unique Style & Grip
    Each handle is a work of art, crafted from solidified wood and shimmering white resin. The geometric shape not only looks stunning but also provides a comfortable, secure, and non-slip grip for detailed work.
  • The 12° Edge: Surgical Precision
    Hand-honed to a 12° angle per side, the 'Hirameki's' cutting edge allows the knife to glide through food with minimal effort, giving you complete control over every slice.

Transform Your Kitchen Today

The Damara 'Hirameki' Utility Knife isn't just another kitchen tool—it's your daily companion for culinary excellence. From Monday's meal prep to Sunday's special dinner, this knife makes every cut precise, every task easier, and every cooking moment more enjoyable.

Premium Damascus craftsmanship. Japanese precision. Accessible pricing.

That's the DAMARA difference.

Care & Maintenance

1. Washing: Always wash the knife by hand immediately after use with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use a dishwasher.
2. Drying: Immediately wipe the knife dry with a soft cloth. Storing a wet knife, even stainless steel, can lead to spotting.
3. Storage: Use the included sheath, a magnetic holder, or a knife block. Avoid storing the knife loosely in a drawer where it might contact other metal objects, as this can damage the cutting edge.
4. Sharpening: Regularly use a honing steel (steel or ceramic rod) to maintain the edge. For restoring the edge, we recommend a whetstone with a grit of #1000/#3000.

HOU TO USE

- Precision Work: Ideal for slicing shallots, garlic, herbs, and small fruits.
- Trimming and Filleting: Excellent for trimming fat from meat or for breaking down small poultry and fish.
- Everyday Tasks: A great knife for sandwiches, slicing cheese, and cured meats.

Do Not Use For: Cutting bones, frozen foods, hard non-food materials, or as a prying tool. Impact on hard objects can damage the fine cutting edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

F: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen diesem Allzweckmesser und einem 5-Zoll-Santoku?
A: Dieses Allzweckmesser (auch als Petty-Messer bekannt) ist schmaler und hat eine spitzere, durchdringendere Spitze, was es besser für Präzisionsarbeiten macht. Ein Santoku ist breiter und eher auf das Hacken von Gemüse auf einem Brett ausgerichtet.

F: Kann dieses Messer mein Kochmesser ersetzen?
A: Bei kleinen Kochmengen – ja. Für größere Aufgaben wie das Schneiden einer Wassermelone oder eines großen Kohls ist ein 8-Zoll-Kochmesser jedoch effektiver. Dieses Messer ist die perfekte Ergänzung, kein vollständiger Ersatz.
