Description from CKTG:
The Kurosaki R2 Petty 150mm is as impressive in performance as it is in appearance. Crafted by Kurosaki-san and his brother, this knife features an R2 stainless steel core, encased san-mai style in a protective stainless steel cladding. The core steel is hardened to 62 HRC, ensuring exceptional edge retention and durability.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the distinctive cladding serves a functional purpose—it shimmers in the light while facilitating effortless food release, almost as if by magic. True to Kurosaki’s craftsmanship, the knife boasts an outstanding convex grind, delivering superior ingredient separation. Right out of the box, its sharpness ranks among the very best we offer.
Complementing the stunning blade is a beautifully crafted, traditional octagonal rosewood wa handle, offering excellent balance and comfort. With its fine craftsmanship, exquisite design, and top-tier performance, this knife is a standout in any kitchen. We highly recommend giving it a try.
