Masakage Koishi Petty 15 cm Aogami Super

The Masakage Koishi Petty 15 cm Aogami Super is a precise and versatile kitchen knife, ideal for tasks requiring a high degree of control, such as peeling, cutting fruits, vegetables, and meat. Thanks to its compact design and lightweight construction, it is a great complement to larger chef's knives, allowing for precise cutting of even the most delicate ingredients.

The blade of this model is made of extremely hard Aogami Super Steel (63-65 HRC), which ensures extreme sharpness and long-lasting durability of the cutting edge. The San Mai construction means that the core is surrounded by stainless steel cladding, which facilitates knife maintenance while maintaining excellent cutting properties. The Tsuchime hammered finish not only adds a unique look inspired by traditional Japanese blacksmithing, but also reduces the adhesion of ingredients to the blade surface. The raw, oxidized Kurouchi finish further protects against corrosion and emphasizes the handcrafted nature of the knife.

The slim blade geometry and its gradual tapering (distal taper) ensure exceptional precision and smooth, almost effortless cutting. Its low weight (76 g) and optimal blade length (15 cm) make the knife fit perfectly in the hand, allowing for comfortable and precise maneuvering.

The handle is made of cherry wood, which gives it a natural look and lightness. The octagonal profile ensures a secure grip, and an additional Pakka wood ferrule reinforces the construction and increases durability.
