Masakage Yuki Petty Knife 12 cm Shirogami #2

The small Masakage Yuki Petty Knife is a versatile tool, useful for many kitchen tasks. Its blade is 120 mm long. It is perfect for processing small products, such as mushrooms, shallots, and garlic.

Master Yoshimi Kato, representing Takefu Knife Village, is responsible for the manual production of Masakage Yuki knives, while Takayuki Shibata is responsible for sharpening them. The collection is made using Shirogami #2 carbon steel, which is used to produce a hard core. The use of the San Mai construction means that it is surrounded by stainless steel on both sides. The heat treatment gives the blade a high hardness of 62-63 HRC. In addition, they are extremely elegant thanks to the subtle Nashiji finish. An additional advantage of the Masakage Yuki Series knives is the excellent geometry of the cutting edge, which ensures a smooth cut. It is also worth noting the distinctive appearance of the oval handle, which is made of magnolia wood. It has a red Pakka wood ferrule, and the white and red color scheme, together with the beautiful Nashiji finish resembling snow, brings to mind associations with winter weather. This is where the name of the collection comes from – Yuki, which means “snow.” The uniqueness of each knife results from the manual production process.
