Specifications

The Yu Kurosaki HAP40 Gekko Petty Knife 150mm is a high-quality Japanese kitchen knife, expertly handcrafted by blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. Designed for precision, this knife features a core of HAP40 steel, known for its outstanding edge retention, making it ideal for prolonged use with minimal sharpening.

This batch of Gekko series knives will be the last to feature HAP40 steel, as Kurosaki transitions to VG-XEOS for future releases. The petty knife's sharp, narrow blade excels in delicate kitchen tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats, making it an essential tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.
