The Harukaze Morado AS Petty 156mm is an easy knife to recommend for anyone looking for strong performance without a big price tag. It is not often you find Aogami Super edge steel paired with this level of fit and finish at such an affordable price. The kurouchi and hammered blade finish gives the knife a rustic, hand-forged look, while the engraved blade adds a nice touch of character. The rosewood handle with maple ferrule feels comfortable in hand and gives the knife a more refined appearance than you might expect at this price point.
This petty is a great size for detail work, trimming, peeling, slicing fruit, and other small kitchen tasks where a nimble blade shines. The Aogami Super core steel is known for excellent edge retention and can take a very sharp edge, while the stainless cladding helps reduce maintenance compared with a fully reactive blade. It is a smart choice for cooks who want to try high-performance carbon steel without stepping too far out of their comfort zone.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry promptly after use. The core steel at the edge is reactive and may develop a patina over time. Avoid cutting hard bones, frozen foods, or very hard materials. Sharpen on water stones as needed to keep the edge performing at its best.Brand: Harukaze Location: Tosa, Japan Construction: San Mai, Hammer Forged Cladding: Stainless Edge Steel: AS (Aogami Super) Edge Grind: Even Finish: Hammered, Kurouchi Weight: 2.5 oz (72 g) Blade Length: 156 mm Total Length: 280 mm Spine Thickness at Base: 2 mm Blade Height: 30 mm Handle: Rosewood Oval Ferrule: Maple
