Introducing the Enso Premium Japanese Culinary Petty Knife, a hand-forged kitchen knife that embodies the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. This 5.9-inch petty knife features a blade made from high-quality carbon steel, achieving a remarkable 65 Rockwell hardness. The rustic black kurouchi finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides a unique texture that pays homage to traditional blacksmithing.
The cutting core is crafted from Aogami Super (Blue Super Carbon Steel), expertly cladded in stainless steel for effortless maintenance while retaining the exceptional performance of a carbon steel blade. The knife is complemented by a beautifully polished teak wood octagonal handle, featuring a buffalo horn ferrule for added elegance.
Hand-ground to an impressive 12° double-bevel edge, this knife is designed for durability, making it less prone to chipping or nicking. Each blade is meticulously forged, heat-treated, ground, and sharpened in a dedicated workshop, ensuring the highest quality. The hand-engraved Japanese kanji on the blade translates to ‘Enso Made in Japan,’ a testament to its authenticity.
Handmade in a small blacksmith shop in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, this knife comes with a handcrafted teak wood saya, making it a perfect addition to any chef’s collection. Elevate your culinary skills with the best hand-forged Japanese chef knife available.
