Knife Petty – Aogami #1

The petty knife is useful for fine work such as decorative cuts and is ideal for peeling and cutting fruit or removing potato sprouts.

Aogami #1 (or blue paper steel) has a higher carbon content than #2, making it harder and potentially sharper, but also slightly more brittle. Perfect for fine cuts and precise work, but more sensitive to misuse.

The handle is made of buffalo horn and magnolia wood.
