The Tabata Blue #2 Petty 215mm combines both beauty and functionality. Made by the skilled craftsmen of Tabata Hamono, a small blacksmith shop situated on Tanagashima Island in Kyushu's Kagoshima Prefecture, this knife is the epitome of Japanese artistry. The blacksmith calls this a short sujihiki and we're calling it a long petty. Same difference.
The edge steel used in the blade is made with Hitachi Blue #2 carbon steel and the cladding is made with stainless steel, giving it a sleek and polished finish.Blacksmith: Tabata Hamono
