Masakage Mizu Petty (officeknife), 120 mm
Masakage Mizu Petty
This Japanese petty knife features a core of non-stainless Japanese Aogami #2 (Blue Paper Steel). The blade is double-bevelled and finished with a distinctive black Kurouchi coating that creates a subtle, water-like sheen, giving the knife its name Mizu, which means “water” in Japanese.
Each knife is entirely hand-forged by master blacksmith Takumi Ikeda, making every piece unique. The blade is exceptionally thin and hand-ground, without thick shoulders behind the edge, allowing for excellent cutting performance and making sharpening remarkably easy.

Please note: Every Masakage knife is individually handmade. As a result, the finish, Kurouchi pattern and overall appearance may vary slightly from the knife shown in the photographs. These variations are purely cosmetic and are part of the character and authenticity of a handcrafted Japanese knife.
Like all handcrafted Japanese kitchen knives, Masakage knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve their performance and appearance, always wash the knife by hand, dry it thoroughly immediately after use, and store it in a dry place.
