Talented forge-smith Master Yamamoto, of Takefu City, recently finished these unique Kurouchi (“Black-forged”) finished Aogami Super Knives. The blade core is made from Japan’s premium high carbon steel, Hitachi Aogami Super (“Blue Super Steel”) (HRc. 64), is sandwiched between two layers of corrosion-resistant, soft stainless steel – a steel that is not often combined with a Kurouchi finish. Because Aogami Super is somewhat corrosion-resistant, these knives should not require a lot of maintenance. However, please note that the exposed blade core can discolor or rust if it is exposed to acid, salt or water for a long time.
Each knife is fitted with a comfortable octagonal Red-Sandalwood handle, which has a Black Pakkawood ferrule that nicely complements the black Kurouchi blade.
Now you can enjoy a knife that has not only a powerful traditional-style Kurouchi finish, but also an Aogami Super blade that offers outstanding cutting performance and edge holding!
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.
Offered as a gift, they love this petty knife for everyday use.
Great size for both intro cooks and home cooks. Great edge. Lovely handle. Polished edges.
Upgraded my knives this year and this one quickly became my favorite. Great handle, craft blade, and it's pretty. All around a win and worth every penny!
I like to use this knife for almost every task that doesn't require a Gyuto size knife. Great balance and feel, love the Octagon shaped handle, I find it fit better than a D shaped, even for a right handed. I have recommended this one to friends who also got it from JCK, great value for the price!
I bought this as a birthday gift for my wife. She likes the sharpness of the blade and how the knife handles (it lies nicely in your hand). You do have to clean it and dry it after each use to make sure it is not tarnished. Great knife.
