The Hatsukokoro Habayusa aogami#2 petty knife is a standout piece from the brand's latest Hayabusa rainbow damascus series. At its heart lies the aogami#2 core steel, a well-balanced material known for its edge retention, sharpness, and toughness. Intricately crafted, the knife showcases a mesmerizing copper damascus cladding. With its stainless cladding, this knife is not only striking but also easy to maintain, making it perfect for beginners. Its octagonal teak wood handle guarantees both comfort and control during use. The petty knife, designed for precision tasks, is an essential tool in the kitchen. A favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike, this knife embodies both style and functionality.
※ This knife is stainless clad: Stainless clad is a sanmai or warikomi construction where the carbon steel core (e.g. shirogami#2, aogami#2, AS, etc) is sandwiched between outer layers of stainless steel (see last image). The stainless cladding (the "jacket") makes the knife much easier to care for. The key advantage of stainless clad knives is that the stainless outer layers protect the reactive carbon steel core from corrosion and patina formation. This makes maintenance much simpler compared to monosteel carbon or iron clad knives.
