The Harukaze Morado AS Petty 135mm is a compact, high-performance knife that punches well above its price point. It is not easy to find Aogami Super edge steel paired with this level of fit and finish at such an accessible price. The kurouchi and hammered blade finish gives it a rustic, hand-forged character, while the engraved blade adds a nice visual touch. The recent batch features a comfortable rosewood oval handle with a maple ferrule, offering a warm feel and secure grip.
This smaller petty is perfect for in-hand work, trimming, peeling, and precise slicing where control matters most. The Aogami Super core takes an extremely sharp edge and holds it well, while the stainless cladding helps reduce maintenance and makes the knife more forgiving for everyday use. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to experience high-end carbon steel performance in a compact, easy-to-use format.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry promptly after use. The exposed core steel at the edge is reactive and will develop a patina over time. Avoid cutting hard bones, frozen foods, or very hard materials. Sharpen on water stones as needed.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 (74 g) Blade Length: 139 mm Spine Thickness at Base: 2 mm Blade Height: 30 mm Handle: Rosewood Oval Ferrule: Maple
