Masakage Shimo Petty (office knife), 120 mm
Masakage Shimo Petty 12 cm
This Japanese paring knife features a core of Japanese Shirogami #2 "white paper" stainless steel with a beautiful damask pattern. The double-edged blade has a damask pattern with straight x-shaped corners created with a specially developed hammer. This creates the effect of ice flowers on a diamond, hence the name Shimo, which means frost in Japanese. This knife is entirely hand-forged by the young master smith Yu Kurosaki and is unique in its kind. The blade is very thin and hand-sharpened, with no thickening, making sharpening very easy. A paring knife is ideal for peeling fruit and vegetables and for skinning and filleting fish and meat.
