This beautiful traditional forged knife is called “Blue Moon”, which is青月“Seigetsu” in Japanese. This is because we felt that the unique Tsuchime (“Hammered pattern”) dimples and dark-colored Kurouchi (“Black forged”) finish of the blade looked just like the cratered surface of the Moon.
The core of the blades is made from Hitachi Blue Steel No.2 Japanese high carbon steel, which is sandwiched between soft stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance, and thus reduced maintenance. Blue Moon Knife is hand ground and sharpened, and have very good overall fit and finish.
The oval-shaped handles are suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. They are made of Chestnut wood with black resin ferrule.
A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. The compact size and relatively narrow blade of the Petty knife mean that it is very nimble and controllable, thus it is ideal for making precise cuts.

For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and its sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.

This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.
United StatesPurchase this knife as a gift for my son-in-law. He’s an excellent cook add requested this knife after researching the Internet. He absolutely loves the knife and looks forward to adding future knives in the near future. The service from the company was outstanding, and they have followed up to make sure everything arrived on time, and that we were pleased. I highly recommend the Japanese chefs knife.
United StatesI am a bit at a knife geek and believe that carbon steel knives live this offer incredible performance at a great price. Now, it is carbon steel and requires care, but it is worth it.
United Kingdomthe steel and blade is lovely, i enjoy to sharpen and use. only downside is the fit on to handle is not completely straight, it bends slightly to one side - not a big issue when using a pinch grip but handle grip would be awkward, also plastic ferrule aesthetically. Overall good value though.
United StatesThis is my wife’s favorite knife. Easy for her to handle. Best everyday knife.
AustraliaAbsolutely superb piece. I'm glad I went with the 165mm - it is the perfect balance between a smaller petty and a gyuto yet can hold it's own amongst the two. I've owned it for nearly a month now and the blue is starting to come through!
