Presenting the Koishi line from Masakage. Koishi means 'pebbles' and the name here is derived from the beautiful Tsuchime (hammered) finish that adorns the top half of these blades. This finish is a perfect marriage of form and function, providing a lovely aesthetic as well as minimizing stiction when cutting through food. They feature cherry wood handles with pakka ferrules and are clad with stainless steel to help decrease blade reactivity.
This 150mm petty knife is made from Aogami Super Steel, an alloy prized for its ability to take a keen edge and retain it. It is a wonderful all-purpose prep knife for small veggies and proteins. It is lightweight and nimble, will make quick work of shallots and garlic, and is excellent to use when detailed tip work is needed.Brand: Masakage

This knife looks like it means business - like an A-10 coming around for another gun run or a flight of Apaches popping up over the horizon - and it does mean business. Fit and finish are great, balance and feel are perfect, and it takes a hair-popping edge. The blade profile is incredible. Simply a great, great knife.
