This Damascus VG-10 petty is what gives the Kumo series its name, since kumo means cloud, and the pattern across the blade is hand done and genuinely mesmerizing to look at. At 150mm, the petty is a versatile size for general prep and detail work alike.
VG-10 is a fully stainless steel popular among knife makers around the world, very wear resistant, and able to hold an edge for a long time while staying highly resistant to corrosion and rust. The blade is made by veteran blacksmith Ikeda san, who built his reputation over many years working under Anryu san before making knives under his own name as well as for Masakage. The octagonal rosewood handle is finished with a black pakka wood ferrule, with fit and finish well above average across the line.
What Customers Are Saying:One reviewer describes the knife as cutting through food like butter, with enough visual appeal that even their family wanted to get their hands on it.
Care Instructions:VG-10 is a low maintenance stainless steel, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and sharpen on quality water stones when the edge needs attention.
