Their KC series knives were production-grade professional tools, built for durability and consistent performance in commercial kitchen environments. Carbon steel at 150mm in this profile means a thin, responsive blade that excels at in-hand work: peeling, trimming, segmenting, and fine prep where a larger knife is simply too much. A knife with a model number and a maker's name you can look up - that's a knife worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a smooth steel or fine ceramic rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598651834659,"sku":"VTG-KANEMASA-PT150-KC708-2296","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/ED1BCA10-BAEC-455A-A6BE-6CF6016F2F42.jpg?v=1789852993","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/minamoto-kanemasa-petty-150mm-2296","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
