Specifications

The Hatsukokoro Kurokaze kurouchi shirogami#2 petty knife 150mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife, part of the Kurokaze series from Hatsukokoro. This knife features a core of shirogami#2 steel, renowned for its sharpness and ease of sharpening. The kurouchi finish gives the blade a rustic and traditional look. A significant aspect of this knife is its stainless clad construction, which offers easier maintenance by ensuring only the core steel is reactive and will develop a patina over time.

Designed as a petty knife, it is perfect for smaller, precise tasks in the kitchen such as peeling, slicing fruits, and fine chopping. This 150mm petty knife is particularly well-suited for those who value a compact and agile blade. The Kurokaze series stands out as a favorite line from Hatsukokoro, striking a balance between performance, quality, and value.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
