Yoshihiro Inox Stain-resistant Aus-8 Steel Ice Hardened Petty Utility Knife

Yoshihiro Inox Stain-resistant Aus-8 Steel Ice Hardened Petty Utility knife Shitan Handle - Made in Japan Blade Size: 6"(150mm) Blade Material: INOX Stain-resistant AUS-8 Stainless Steel Edge Angle: Double Edged Grade: Inox Ice Hardened Handle Shape: Octagonal Handle Material: Shitan Wood HRC:60 Knife Style: Petty Utility Knife Saya Cover: Magnolia Wood Stain Resistant: Yes Made in Japan Product Description Our Ice Hardened Molybdenum series are made by forging a single piece of Aus-8 stainless steel. Ice hardening is a process that helps draw out the hardness of refined steel while infusing it with enough resiliency to perform consistently in the most exacting of conditions. These knives are perfect for those who are looking for a thin, razor sharp, double edged blade that is very light in weight. Our Yoshihiro Molybdenum Petty fits in small places that require more dexterity than bigger chef's knives while handling bigger jobs than a paring knife can take care of. The Petty will soon become the go to knife in your kitchen. The difference will be felt right away when a hand forged Japanese Petty knife of incomparable sharpness is used for smaller precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables to handling bigger tasks as a small chef's knife. A razor sharp Petty knife can intricately carve and style vegetables and fruits for beautiful presentations and garnishes, performing just as well for bigger jobs such as preparing meals. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. Our Yoshihiro Molybdenum Petty Knife is forged with particular care to create a medium sized sturdy blade that can maneuver through both small and big tasks with finesse. Forged from a single piece of high carbon Aus-8 stainless steel, fortified and strengthened with the element of Molybdenum for superior edge retention and stain resistance, this knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese style handcrafted octagonal natural Magnolia wood handle affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster. A protective wooden sheath called a "Saya" is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Proudly made in Japan. An optional and recommended protective wooden sheath called a Saya can be purchased together, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. This knife is complimented with a premium Western Style Handle that extends to the full tang of the knife and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. SHIPPING Domestic Orders are processed by our studio in Los Angeles, California within 1-2 business days.
