Konosuke Sakai Japanese Knife Wa petty 285mm (blade 155mm) With Scabbard. Box. EUC
Petty Japanese Kitchen Knife 270mm W/ Scabbard. Horn and octagonal Ho blond wood handle. Please note due to one overzealous sharpening by a non expert in Japanese knives?? The name is no longer visible on the blade- but is clearly marked on the saya (scabbard) and original box. Knife bought new by me and lightly used (have too many). It is overall a great size and cuts very precisely.. Ready to use but would perform even better if sharpened properly to bring out its original potential! No chips or knicks in the blade which is true and straight. More photos on request. Named for the white colored paper put on billets of steel at the Hitachi factory. Shirogami (white) steels are graded as #1, #2 and #3. #1 has the highest carbon content and #3 the lowest. Generally speaking, #1 will hold its edge longest but will be the most brittle, #3 is the toughest (chip resistant) with shortest edge life. #2 is the most commonly used Shirogami steel. Shirogami steel is a very fine grained carbon steel made from a very low contaminate iron, and loved for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a very fine razor sharp edge quickly. Shirogami steel is a favorite of sushi chefs for knives in which a very fine finish is essential. Will be listing Tsukiji Masamoto knives shortly. 100%+ ebayer since 2001. No smoking no pets home.
