Petty
Petty knife with 135 mm long blade and a handle in ebony. This is a superb knife that we highly recommend!
For this line, Toshihiro Wakui uses only the best materials available. We makes his own warikomi from Aogami#2 and soft iron. The finish is a gun metal nashiji and the rounded tapering feels great. The handle is macassar ebony with nice lustre and weight.
All in all, its a great knife that anyone would be happy to own and use.

Note: Carbon steel is not stainless! Be sure to wipe the blade dry immediately after use to avoid rusting of the blade.
Disclaimer: Japanese knives have thin edges with high hardness. This makes them much more fragile than traditional european knives. These blades should under no circumstances be subject to twisting, prising or cutting into hard objects. Such handling could easily cause damage to the edge, something that is not valid ground for a warranty claim.
