Kohetsu is an exclusive CKTG brand that has taken us over a year to develop. Kohetsu is a name that loosely translates to "bring happiness and pleasure" or just "be happy." We hope by making these knives they will do just that for you.
The Kohetsu Aogami Super petty 120mm is a lovely blade made with Aogami Super carbon steel and a stainless cladding. The inner core AS steel is heat treated to a hardness of 64 Rockwell. We send this steel to a highly regarded blacksmith shop in Japan for shaping and assembly. Aogami Super is a popular steel that holds its sharp edge well.
We made these knives with a no muss, no fuss attitude. They are a straightforward knife devoid of bling and pricey accouterments; you are buying a tool that will do the job at a price that is very competitive and easy on the wallet. Comes with a traditional octagonal ho wood handle with a water buffalo horn ferrule.
Please note, the knife sharpener intentionally thins the edges of these knives to make them perform better, especially on the tip area. Often times you will see a hazy/cloudy scratch pattern as a result. This is not a defect.
We do not have a saya that fits this knife. The felt blade guard is recommended instead.Brand: Kohetsu

OK, I am fan of Kohetsu...Especially if you do not need or want "art" knives. I honestly don't think line cooks or home cooks, heck even some pro chefs need look any further than Kohetsu for knives. They use some of the best steels you can find, they are extremely sharp and have extreme sharpenability. Kohetsu knives are simple with a workhorse sensibility,use me everyday for everything vibe that is just plain fun in the kitchen. I bought the 120 petty to use as a longer paring knife and it suits that roll with ease and aplomb. Is it sharp? I cut myself while looking at and turning the blade just barely touching a finger when it was knew, yes, it is sharp. And it sharpens very easy on a 2000 green brick followed by a King 6000. Anyone needing a short petty should look at Kohetsu line. Word!
