Description
Petty (utility knife), 80 mm, from Hatsukokoro, Kumokage series. It works as a second knife, for fruit, garlic, herbs and small jobs.
The blade is Aogami 2 (Blue #2), a carbon steel, with a kurouchi finish and Damascus pattern. The handle is Japanese (wa) in teak with buffalo horn. The edge is sharpened 50/50 and suits right- and left-handed use.
Carbon steel can rust. Dry the knife straight after use, and it will build a patina over time. Hatsukokoro in Amagasaki brings knives from several forges together under one name. We sharpen it in the workshop when it needs it.

About the knife type: Petty (utility knife)
A petty is smaller than a chef's knife and has a narrow, pointed blade. It is easy to control when you slice, peel and trim fruit, vegetables and smaller pieces of meat and fish. It also minces onion and garlic well.
About the steel: Blue #2 (Aogami #2)
Care and maintenance
Carbon steel: rinse and dry the knife right after use. A little dark patina is normal and protects the steel.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
