Small Blade. Pure Carbon Edge.
The petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of the Western paring knife - used in hand for peeling, coring, trimming, and all the fine detail work that a larger blade can't reach. Shirogami carbon steel takes a keener, more refined edge than stainless, making every cut cleaner and more precise. The stainless cladding protects the reactive core on the sides of the blade. Sharpens effortlessly on Japanese water stones. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.

Hand wash only - never dishwasher
Wipe dry immediately after use - the carbon steel core is reactive
A natural patina will develop on the edge with use - this is normal and protects the steel
Sharpen on Japanese water stones - takes an exceptionally fine edge
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
