Touroku Sakai Yoshikazu Shirogami Kurouchi Petty 150mm
About Touroku Sakai Yoshikazu Shirogami KurouchiĀ - These knives are a little thicker, a little more rustic on the fit and finish that other knives you may have seen from Yoshikazu Tanaka , but they scream āClassic Japanese Knifeā.Ā
About Yoshikazu Tanaka - Yoshikazu Tanaka is a blacksmith in Sakai, considered to be one of the best blacksmiths in the region. One thing that differentiates him from the other blacksmiths, is that he uses pine charcoal when he quenches knives, which heats the knives more slowly and gently. He also only forges 30 knives a day, which may sound like a lot but is actually half as many as a lot of blacksmiths. Additionally, he is one of only a few blacksmiths in Sakai who use a tempering kiln for tempering his knives.
About the Shape - This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, Petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.
