Description & specifications
Sakai Kikumori has been a renowned knife maker since 1926, and their Choyo Petty 150mm Blue #1 is a shining example of their craftsmanship. This knife is forged by the legendary Yoshikazu Tanaka, known for his ability to harden steel to perfection.

The blade is built in 3 layers with a core of Blue #1 steel, giving it a sharpness and durability that are hard to match.

Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
