Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2/R2 Flash Tsuchime Petty

A 120mm petty knife is designed for precision tasks that require more control than a large chef's knife. It is ideal for peeling, trimming, de-veining shrimp, and detailed fruit or vegetable work.

SG2/R2 is a high-performance powdered steel known for its exceptional edge retention and hardness. While it stays sharp for a long time, it is harder to sharpen than standard stainless steel and should be treated with care to avoid chipping.

Yes, the hammered tsuchime finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This helps reduce suction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the knife while you cut.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat will damage the walnut handle and dull the blade's edge; it should always be hand-washed and dried immediately after use.
