This 150mm petty is the utility knife in the Okeya Hairline lineup, sized for in-hand work, smaller produce, and any task where the 210mm gyuto or 185mm bunka would feel oversized. Aki Fujiwara hammer forges it in Miki City in a san mai construction with a White #2 carbon steel core and stainless hairline cladding, keeping the maintenance profile simple while delivering a genuinely reactive carbon edge.
The hairline finish on the stainless cladding gives the blade a cleaner, more refined look than the kurouchi versions in the Okeya line, and the White #2 core takes a very sharp edge that sharpens easily on the stones. At 151mm blade length and 31mm tall it is a narrow, precise utility knife that suits a wide range of tasks.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer bought this for their partner and reports that it has become a favorite, used every day and described as arriving very sharp with good fit and finish.
Care Instructions: White #2 is a reactive carbon steel, so wipe and dry the blade immediately after use rather than letting it sit. Avoid leaving acidic foods against the blade for any length of time, and apply a light coat of camellia oil for longer term storage. Hand wash only.
