The Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2 Petty Knife 150mm is a premium Japanese kitchen knife handcrafted by renowned blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. As part of the Senko series, this petty knife showcases Kurosaki’s signature star-shaped tsuchime (hammered) finish, enhancing food release and reducing drag during cutting.
The SG2 core steel provides exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, making this knife a reliable tool for delicate and precise tasks. The compact size and lightweight design make it ideal for intricate cutting, such as peeling, trimming, and handling smaller ingredients with ease. Paired with an octagonal rosewood handle, it offers excellent balance and control.
