CHECK TEXT - PASTED AND UPDATED FROM PETTY 130MM
The Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Damascus Kiri-Petty 115mm brings the refined performance and layered Damascus finish of the Hikari series into a compact, highly maneuverable format. At 115mm of edge length and just 30mm tall, this petty excels at detail work, trimming, and precise in-hand tasks while remaining capable on the board. Its thin 1.5mm spine and light 76g weight make it quick, responsive, and easy to control in tight spaces.
The core steel is SLD, a semi-stainless tool steel known for strong edge retention and easier maintenance compared to fully reactive carbon steels. It is clad in stainless Damascus, which adds durability and corrosion resistance while showcasing the flowing layered pattern that defines the Hikari line. The san mai construction and subtle convex grind support clean cutting and good food release, while the octagonal ebony handle provides balance and a comfortable grip.
Care Instructions: Although SLD is semi-stainless, it is not fully stainless. Hand wash and dry promptly after use. Do not leave wet or store in a damp environment. Avoid cutting frozen foods or hard materials and do not twist the blade during use.Maker: Hatsukokoro
