Moritaka Deluxe Petty/Utility Knife, 150mm (5.9"), Aogami/Blue #2 Carbon Steel

A great larger utility (petty) knife, hand-made in the Moritaka family workshop in Japan. This makes a great companion to a chef's knife or santoku, and is handy for smaller slicing/dicing jobs like dicing ginger, garlic, onions, small pieces of meat, fruit, etc. At this size, it's basically a small chef's knife, and indeed the shape is the same as a chef's knife, only smaller.

The blade is made of Aogami/Blue #2 carbon steel, with a permanent seasoned rosewood handle and a stainless steel tang. These blades will quickly and easily take a super sharp edge and HOLD it like no stainless steel knife can. The rosewood handle will be MUCH longer-lasting than the softer and lighter magnolia wood usually seen on traditional Japanese knives, and the stainless steel tang inside the handle means that any moisture will not result in premature pitting or damage to the handle. The finish is kuro-uchi (black) with a lacquer coating -- this helps protect the steel and should not be polished off.

Edge is 50/50 bevel, so it is fine for left or right-handed use, and is easily sharpened with any stone or hone or gadget suitable for Japanese knives. For regular everyday maintenance I suggest a fine ceramic hone (see below).

I really love these knives -- I'm sure you'll be thrilled and amazed by the quality, good looks, and high performance of these carbon steel blades, and what an amazing value!

Comes packed in a very nice gift box.
