The Story

This petty-kiritsuke knife features a Kurouchi finish on stainless steel cladding, blending traditional aesthetics with modern strength.

Kurouchi, meaning "Black-Forged," gives the blade its distinctive rustic look while adding protection against rust and wear.

The blade's core is Blue Steel #2, hardened to 63-64 Rockwell. This steel keeps a sharp edge longer, so you can work efficiently with less sharpening.

The petty-kiritsuke's slender, angled tip is perfect for precise slicing, trimming, and delicate tasks in the kitchen.

It is paired with a comfortable octagonal Ebony wood handle, suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

This knife balances traditional Japanese craftsmanship, sharp performance, and easy maintenance for daily kitchen use.
