Though in demand, small Japanese handled paring knives are somewhat uncommon. This 75mm petty from the Masakage Mizu lineup offers first rate steel, excellent performance, and is loaded with character with a rich storied provenance. The knife is constructed of an Aogami #2 carbon steel core hardened to 61-63 HRC wrapped in a reactive cladding layer. While the rustic kurouchi finish will inhibit oxidation, this knife is all carbon steel construction and will patina with normal use. The handle is oval shaped and made of cherry wood with a marbled resin ferrule. The Mizu line is handcrafted in Takefu Village by Katsushige Anryu, a master blacksmith with over 50 years of experience. As with any hand produced item, variations do occur so the posted specifications are an approximation only.
Weight: 1.8 ounces
Blade Length: 75 mm
Blade Height: 25 mm
Steel: Blue #2
Handle Shape: Oval

I bought this knife to be used for cleaning shrimp, slicing garlic thinly, etc. the idea was to have a short knife that was easily controlled when my fingers are necessarily near the edge. This knife works great for that purpose. It arrived very sharp out of the box. The blade road is flat and the spine straight. The only problem is the handle is probably 2 mm wider in diameter than the ferrule. This makes holding the handle in a pinch grip feel off. It's a small quibble but does speak to the overall modest quality of manufacture.
