Anryu Aogami Super Tsuchime Kurouchi Petty 120mm Stainless Clad, Japanese utility knife
This petty is a nimble utility knife for small slicing, peeling and detailed prep. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Anryu with a kurouchi finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for small slicing, peeling and detail. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

The Aogami Super takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.

Best petty I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the Kurouchi looks even better in person.
