Ishizuchi Knife – Gin3 – Nshiji – Petty – Rosewood Octagon Handle – 13.5 cm

Product description

These knives are crafted by Ishizuchi blacksmiths in the Tosa region of Japan.

This small team of blacksmiths follows the rich 400-year history of crafting sharp tools in the region.

These knives are workhorses for both home and professional chefs.

They offer great balance and feel, featuring the traditional rustic blue/black kurouchi or forge finish.

Due to their fantastic edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening, these knives are highly popular among chefs in Japan and worldwide!

This beautiful cooking knife is made of high-quality stainless steel, providing an extra sharp cutting edge.

The stainless steel consists of many layers of steel forged and folded together.

This ensures hardness and makes the knives less likely to break.

With a blade long enough for serious cooking yet more maneuverable than a full-size Kiritsuke, the Petty is ideal for quick and precise cuts.

Petty is the Japanese term for Utility or Paring, which universally means versatile in plain Dutch.

This knife is excellent for finer tasks.

Particularly useful for slicing fruit finely and ideal for chopping herbs.

A very high-quality knife is a must-have in the finest kitchens!
