Anryu Aokami Tsuchime Petty 13 cm,

This Japanese petty knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 carbon steel with a softer stainless steel coating on the outside with a nice hammer blow (Tsuchime). This method of forging is called Sanmai and can only be found in knives that have been forged in Japan. This knife is completely hand-forged by the sucessor of Katsushige Anryu, Ikeda-san. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy. Aogami steel is extremely hard but easy to sharpen yourself on Japanese water stones.

  • Total length: 260 mm
  • Blade height: 30 mm
  • Blade thickness: (near handle): 3,2 mm, near tip: 1,3 mm

Like all Japanese knives, the handmade knives from Katsushige Anryu are not dishwasher safe. Clean and dry after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
