At 80mm, the Harukaze VG10 Tsuchime Petty is a small-length blade. It is a versatile cutting tool around the kitchen, whether cutting on a board or in hand. The knife also has the ability to take on garnishes and artistic style cutting needs. This is a stout and rigid knife that flies through herbs and other small items with ease.
The blade is made from the ever-popular VG-10 stainless steel. It is easily the most used stainless alloy in the kitchen knife industry and for good reason. VG-10 "super steel" is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, and vanadium. This composition of elements gives the VG-10 steel its most important properties, such as the ability to hold an edge coupled with great durability.
An outer cladding of a 17-layer Damascus stainless alloy is applied to either side. The softer stainless steel cladding is given a tsuchime (hammered) finish, which enhances the knife’s great looks and also helps in achieving better food release.
The knife is finished off with a lovely western-style rosewood oval handle with a stainless steel ferrule. This is a great little petty at a very attractive price, that will serve you well for many years to come!

I bought this knife over a year ago and it is one of my superstar knives. I got a cover for it and it fits perfectly in my apron pocket so that I always have a sharp knife at the ready. Easy to sharpen and holds a great edge. Super comfortable in the hand, and extremity versatile.
