Matsubara Wavy Face Blue #2 Tall Petty 120mm is made by blacksmith Katsuto Tanaka who works from his famed shop in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Aogami 2 carbon steel is undoubtedly one of the most popular steels used to manufacture kitchen knives. It is noted for its outstanding edge life and overall toughness. The core steel is covered san-mai style with soft stainless steel which receives a lovely finish. The hammer marks on these blades are real, not stamped with a press. The cladding adds strength, reduces mass, and makes maintenance much easier.
This great looking tall petty has a rather flat section at the heel end and then transitions into a nice curved belly about halfway along the edge. Blade height is generous, especially for a petty of this length. It makes the knife good for board work while cutting various foods.Brand: Matsubara

This is a great Petty utility knife. The tall blade is great for Vegetables & Proteins. Love the hammered finish. A partner for my Matsubara 170mm Hammered Bunka. It’s long enough to slice lengthwise vegetables with ease. I decided to first try it by making some Cajun Chicken & Ham Jambalaya. This knife did it all with no issues. Diced the “Trinity “- Celery,Onions & Green Bell Pepper and cut up the Chicken & Ham into bite sized pieces. This knife is surgically sharp right out of the box. It just looks amazing and the handle fits my large hands just right. The weight of the knife gives great cutting control. This might be my favorite Petty in my kitchen. I’m extremely pleased with it.Thx to CKTG for the great service as usual.
