Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Petty 12 cm Shirogami

The Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Petty 12 cm Shirogami is a versatile and precise petty kitchen knife, ideal for peeling, cutting small ingredients, and precise work in the kitchen. Thanks to its compact size and perfectly balanced design, it is perfect for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

The 12 cm blade is made of Japanese Shirogami #2 steel, valued for its exceptional sharpness and ease of sharpening. The 63 HRC core ensures long-lasting sharpness, while the multi-layer cladding gives the blade a unique look and increases its durability. The hammered Tsuchime finish not only emphasizes the craftsmanship of the knife, but also reduces the adhesion of food to the blade during cutting.

The Kurouchi Damascus, a traditional black protective coating combined with an 11-layer Damascus pattern, gives the knife a unique, raw look and provides additional protection against corrosion. Over time, the blade develops a natural patina, which is characteristic of high-carbon steel and further enhances its aesthetic qualities.

The octagonal rosewood handle provides a secure grip and excellent ergonomics. The Pakka wood ferrule increases moisture resistance and improves the durability of the handle. Thanks to its lightweight construction and balance, the knife fits perfectly in the hand, ensuring comfort even during prolonged use.

The Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Petty 12 cm Shirogami is an excellent choice for those looking for a precise and aesthetic kitchen knife that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship and high functionality.
