The Makoto Kurosaki Sakura Tsuchime Petty 13.5 cm SG2 is a compact Japanese utility knife designed for precise and controlled kitchen work. The Petty profile is ideal for trimming, peeling, and handling smaller ingredients with accuracy.
The blade features a SG2 powdered stainless steel core, known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Heat treated to approximately 62–63 HRC, it maintains sharpness while providing stable cutting performance. Stainless cladding improves durability and simplifies maintenance.
The Tsuchime hammered finish enhances food release and adds a distinctive forged texture. Thin blade geometry and a double bevel grind allow smooth, controlled cuts.
The octagonal cherry wood handle ensures balanced handling and secure grip. Lightweight construction at 60 g makes this knife comfortable for detailed, extended tasks.
