The Masakage Koishi collection is the top of the line offering from Masakage. They are handmade by Hiroshi Kato san using Aogami Super Steel. Aogami Super is a highly renowned steel, revered for its ability to take and hold an incredibly sharp edge. These knives are hardened to about 64 Rockwell, making them some of the hardest blades we offer. They are clad in a stainless steel kurouchi finish which helps minimize reactivity.
This 75mm petty is a good stand-in for the Western paring Knife. Its short, easily maneuvered blade length makes it a great candidate for in-hand tasks like turning potatoes (tourné) or peeling small fruits and vegetables. Also makes a great cheese knife.Brand: Masakage

$184 for a paring knife? Yes. All day long. This knife is nothing short of perfect for in-hand work. The kurouchi finish makes cleanup and care a breeze. Sharpen-ability and edge retention are off the charts! I couldn't be happier.

The best out of hundreds of pettys handled.
