This 150mm petty offers the same materials and craftsmanship as the larger knives in the G3 line, but in a smaller, more affordable package. Harukaze, meaning windy spring in Japanese, is made exclusively for CKTG by a mid-sized factory in Tosa, Japan.
The petty uses the same G3 stainless core found across the line, also known as Ginsan, hardened to about 62 HRC for solid edge retention. A stainless nashiji, or pear skin, cladding protects the core and adds texture, while the blade is finished with a 50/50 edge and laser-engraved kanji on both sides. The handle is an oval magnolia wood with a black pakka wood ferrule, sized to feel balanced in a smaller blade.
Care Instructions: Ginsan (Silver #3) is a low-maintenance stainless steel. Hand wash and dry it after use, keep it out of the dishwasher, and avoid frozen foods or cutting through bone. A quick touch-up on quality water stones now and then is usually all this petty needs to come back to a sharp edge.Brand: Harukaze
