Anryu Petty Tsutchime 12 cm Aogami #2

Anryu Petty Tsutchime 12 cm Aogami #2 is a precise Japanese Petty knife, perfect for demanding kitchen tasks such as peeling, cutting small ingredients, and working with fruits and vegetables. Thanks to its compact design and exceptional sharpness, it is an indispensable tool for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

The 12 cm blade is made of high-carbon Aogami #2 steel, known for its excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. The core is surrounded by a layer of stainless steel for better corrosion resistance. The hammered Tsutchime finish not only gives the knife a unique look, but also minimizes food sticking to the blade, which significantly improves comfort.

The ergonomic handle is made of rosewood, and its oval shape ensures a secure and comfortable grip, regardless of hand size. The Pakka wood ferrule reinforces the construction and adds an elegant touch.

This knife was hand-forged by master blacksmith Takumi Ikeda, who continues the tradition of the famous Anryu Forge. Each piece is a unique, hand-crafted tool that combines Japanese precision with unparalleled craftsmanship.
