High Performance SLD Japanese Petty Utility Knife with Ebony Handle & Saya

Introducing the Yoshihiro High Performance SLD Kurouchi Petty Utility Knife Ebony Handle. Proudly made in Japan by Yoshihiro Cutlery, a company dedicated to handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives with a rich heritage spanning centuries. The techniques used in creating Yoshihiro knives date back to medieval Japanese sword smiths who mastered the art of manipulating fire, iron, and water.

The Petty Utility Knife, also known as a utility knife, offers a versatile solution between a chef's knife and a paring knife. Designed to handle small tasks with precision while being robust enough for larger jobs, the Petty knife will quickly become your go-to kitchen companion. Handcrafted in Japan and not mass-produced, each knife is a unique work of art.

Crafted with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle made of ebony wood, this knife is lightweight and ergonomic for seamless use. Consider adding an optional protective wooden sheath called a Saya to protect the blade and enhance its appearance when not in use.

The blade is exceptionally forged with stainless-clad SLD high-performance steel, a cutting-edge material engineered in Japan to provide unparalleled sharpness, long edge retention, and stain resistance. This knife boasts a Kurouchi special textured Nashiji finish, making it both functional and visually appealing.

To maintain the sharpness of your Yoshihiro knife, it is recommended to sharpen and hone with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones, nutshells, or frozen foods to preserve its longevity.

With a focus on elevated performance and ease of maintenance, the Yoshihiro SLD Stainless Clad Petty Utility Knife offers the perfect balance of functionality and beauty. Elevate your culinary experience with this handcrafted Japanese knife that brings precision and artistry to your kitchen.
