Kikuichi Kokaji White #2 High-Carbon 15cm Bunka

These top of the line superior knives from the famed Kokaji-Kai knife makers in Sakai are beautiful and sharp. They are crafted in a Sanmai and Kasumiyaki forging constructions using Shiroko #2 high-carbon steel, with Magnolia round handles. A petty knife is a basic utility knife slightly larger than a pairing knife. Typically petty and utility knives are used on a cutting board as opposed to a paring knife which does better when operated in your hand. They are great for intricate, delicate and light work.

NOTE: Blade may rust if left wet, this is NOT a stainless steel.
