Muneishi Kurouchi Petty 13 cm Aogami

Valued for its versatility, the Muneishi Knife with a blade length of 130 mm will prove itself in every kitchen. It will be useful for anyone who values quick and convenient cutting of fruit and vegetables. In addition, it is also perfect for more precise work.

Muneishi kitchen knives are a series that is highly valued for its excellent blade profile. The unique production technology, called Warikomi, involves the use of soft iron cladding that surrounds a hard core made of Aogami #2 steel (carbon steel). As a result of hardening, the blades acquire extraordinary sharpness, reaching 63-64 HRC. They can be sharpened very easily thanks to heat treatment and hardening, among other things. This technique also contributes to the long-lasting sharpness of the blade. The unique, raw character of the knives is ensured by the attractive black finish of the blade, called Kurouchi. The oval handle is made of cherry wood and finished with a beautiful red ferrule.

After each use, the Muneishi knife should be cared for. Washing and drying prevents rust from forming.
