Kanetsugu Pro-M Petty 15 cm

The Kanetsugu Pro-M Utility Knife with a blade length of 150 mm is perfect for more precise work in the kitchen with small products.

The Kanetsugu Pro-M series kitchen knives are among the most popular knives from this manufacturer. The blades are forged from a single piece of AUS-8 stainless steel, using the “monosteel” technique. During hardening, the knives undergo heat treatment (known as “sub-zero treatment”), during which the blades are rapidly cooled to -70°C, giving them a hardness of 59+/-1 HRC. What distinguishes these knives is their incredible cutting properties, which are due to proper heat treatment and a convex grind, known as “hamaguri ba.” The finish of the knife and the fit of the handle are unmatched among other knives in this price range.

The handle is made of dark Pakka wood, which has been impregnated and is completely moisture-resistant. The ergonomically contoured handle is very comfortable and provides a secure grip, even during long periods of work in the kitchen.

Seki Kanetsugu is a manufacturer from the city of Seki in Japan, which is famous for the production of kitchen knives. The brand was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, a famous samurai sword maker (1336-1392).
