MDT67 Mirror Finish Tsuchime AUS-10 13.5cm Petty

This 67-Layer Mirror finish Damascus Tsuchime series are some of the finest blades Kikuichi has ever made. With a 67-layer, hand-hammered mirror finish they sparkle on the wall and in the hand. The lighter than average blades make your cooking prep an absolute pleasure. The Octagonal Ho-wood Magnolia handle is made by traditional handle craftsmen and recalls the old style with its water buffalo ferrule, while the AUS10 core steel is a modern material made to withstand even the longest mise en place. This series will quickly become your new favorite blades to use and display in your kitchen. 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.
