Our handmade Yoshihiro Mizu Yaki Blue High Carbon Steel #1 Black Forged Series knives are among the finest in performance and craftsmanship. The Mizu Yaki process involves meticulous pure water quenching, drawing out the hardness of refined steel while ensuring the resiliency needed for consistent performance in even the most demanding conditions. This black forged knife, known as Kurouchi in Japanese, is crafted using traditional methods that emphasize forging, layering, and hammering, resulting in a unique, unpolished rustic finish. With a Rockwell hardness of 63-64, the inner core of Blue High Carbon Steel #1 is prized for its exceptional edge retention.

Often referred to as a utility knife, the Petty is a versatile tool that bridges the gap between a chef's knife and a paring knife. It is designed to fit into tight spaces that require precision while also being capable of handling larger tasks than a standard paring knife. The difference in performance is immediately noticeable when using this hand-forged Japanese Petty knife, renowned for its unparalleled sharpness.

Whether you're peeling, trimming, or slicing small fruits and vegetables, the Petty knife excels at intricate tasks, allowing you to create beautiful presentations and garnishes. Its razor-sharp edge also makes it perfect for bigger jobs, making it an indispensable tool in any kitchen. Once you experience the exceptional performance of this handcrafted knife, it will quickly become your go-to choice for a wide range of culinary tasks.
