Harukaze VG1 Petty 150mm offers a good performing steel in terms of toughness and overall feel. Of course, this is a very easy steel to maintain in terms of corrosion and rust prevention since it's fully stainless.
Be prepared to be surprised by the outstanding out of the box edge on this very well-made petty. It has nice balance and light feel. It has an almost laser-like flat grind. The knife is a true laser with spine measuring 2mm. The grind is nice and thin behind the edge.
The overall fit and finish are of a high standard. It has a simple but very nicely executed rosewood handle with maple ferrule in a comfortable oval shape.
Please note this knife has a nice, gapped machi on the handle install. Check the photos. It's not a mistake, and it's called Tokyo style.Construction: Laser Cut, Mono Steel

Great bladePosted By: Gary Tripp - verified customer

The blade on this knife is fabulous. I hit it with the green block for all of a minute and it became a true laser. I did notice the blade did not go all the way into the handle. I replaced the handle with a higher quality one and this is my new best knife.

Nice steel....butPosted By: Gary Tripp

The edge of this knife came pretty true to what was advertised. Thin blade that can be a laser. I Spent only a few minutes on my green brick and made it fabulous. BUT, while the blade ends up being great I was kind of disappointed that the blade was not fully inserted into the handle. I have taken the handle off and am awaiting a new handle and will make sure it is fully seated. Other than this, it seems like a very good knife.
