The Hatsukokoro Hikarii SLD Petty 130mm is built for those who value function, form, and sharp execution. This knife is the go-to choice for detail work—trimming proteins, prepping herbs, and slicing citrus—where a full-size gyuto would feel overkill. Whether you’re in a professional kitchen or your home setup, this petty brings a clean, confident cut every time.
Crafted with SLD semi-stainless tool steel, the blade delivers excellent edge retention and toughness with less maintenance than traditional carbon steel. The refined grind, clean kasumi finish, and visible hamon line give the blade a serious, understated aesthetic—no gimmicks, just performance.
The dark octagonal handle is made from rich hardwood with a polished finish. It feels solid in the hand and looks as good as it performs. Light, responsive, and laser-sharp out of the box, this one’s built for precision and control in tight spaces. Specs:Maker: Hatsukokoro
