We are pleased to offer this line of cutlery which has been hammer forged from White Paper #1 steel and features a lovely rustic kurouchi finish.
The Matsubara White #1 Petty is a simple and classic knife capable of many cutting and chopping tasks around the kitchen. The blade is of average weight for its length but is a bit thicker at the heel than many others of this size. That distinction adds a higher degree of rigidity to the feel of the knife. The outer steel is finished in a kurouchi style which greatly enhances the durability and corrosion resistance of the blade. It also gives the knife a very characterful, rustic aesthetic prized by many enthusiasts. The finished blade is protected by a clear lacquer coating.
The walnut handle is nicely finished and proportioned and is mated to a black pakka wood ferrule.Brand: Matsubara
