Product description

ChatGPT
The Kumokage Petty Aogami #2 Kuro-uchi Damascus 150mm is a versatile and compact Japanese kitchen knife that excels in tasks that may be challenging for larger knives. It is particularly useful for peeling, paring, and other intricate work that requires precision.

The knife features a raw, untreated blade finish with a misty damascus pattern, giving it a distinct rustic appearance that is fittingly represented by its name "kumokage," meaning "cloud shadow."

With its Aogami #2 steel composition, this knife delivers exceptional sharpness, allowing it to effortlessly glide through food and produce smooth, precise cuts. Aogami #2 is a highly regarded high-carbon steel known for its excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. However, it is important to note that high-carbon steels like Aogami #2 are more susceptible to corrosion and require proper maintenance to prevent rusting and the development of a patina. The addition of chromium and tungsten in the steel composition improves its corrosion resistance to some extent.

To enhance durability and protect against breakage or chipping, the blade is crafted using a lamination technique. The Aogami #2 steel core is sandwiched between two layers of softer, corrosion-resistant steels, providing flexibility, toughness, and additional protection against corrosion and rust.

The Kumokage Petty knife features a double bevel (symmetrical) blade geometry, making it suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users.

The blade has a kuro-uchi finish, which means it has an unpolished, black appearance, adding to its rustic charm. Additionally, it boasts a misty damascus finish, further accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

The knife is equipped with an oval Japanese (Wa) style handle made from wenge wood, complemented by a buffalo horn ferrule. The handle design offers a comfortable grip and enhances the overall balance of the knife.
