The Saffron 61 is an 8-inch chef knife forged from Japanese VG-10 Damascus steel at 61 HRC, so it holds an edge through long prep sessions. At 186 grams it sits in the middle of the 8-inch chef knife class, balanced enough for both rocking chops and precise slicing. The octagonal pakkawood handle gives a secure grip and a look that stands out from plain Western-style handles. It suits cooks who want a hard, long-lasting Japanese-style blade without moving to a full carbon-steel knife that needs more care.
