The Ko (small) size at 105mm is the compact option for smaller fish and poultry. The kurouchi finish is the raw blacksmith's finish left on the blade after forging - rustic, characterful, and providing a degree of natural protection to the reactive carbon steel. Shirogami takes a keener edge than stainless.
