Description

Recommended to purchase with Custom-Cut Saya Knife Cover Sheath

Our handmade Yoshihiro Mizu Yaki Blue High Carbon Steel #1 Black Forged Series knives represent the pinnacle of performance. The Mizu Yaki process involves meticulous pure water quenching, enhancing the hardness of refined steel while ensuring the necessary resilience to perform consistently under the most demanding conditions. This black forged knife, known as Kurouchi in Japanese, exemplifies traditional craftsmanship through intricate forging, layering, and hammering techniques. The result is a beautifully unpolished rustic finish. With a hardness rating of 63-64 on the Rockwell scale, the inner core of Blue High Carbon Steel #1 is highly regarded for its exceptional edge retention.

The Petty Kiritsuke, often referred to as a utility knife, is a versatile option that falls between a chef's knife and a paring knife. Its compact design allows it to navigate tight spaces while still managing tasks that require more heft than a paring knife can provide. You'll quickly discover that this knife becomes an indispensable tool in your kitchen.

The difference in performance is immediate when you use a hand-forged Japanese Petty Kiritsuke knife, known for its unparalleled sharpness. It's perfect for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables while still handling more substantial jobs with ease. A razor-sharp Petty knife allows for intricate carving and styling of produce, elevating your culinary presentations and garnishes while excelling at everyday meal prep.
