Kohetsu is an exclusive CKTG brand that we developed over the course of more than a year. The name loosely translates to “bring happiness and pleasure,” or simply “be happy,” which sums up exactly what we hope these knives bring to your kitchen.
The Kohetsu Aogami Super Petty 120mm is a compact, hardworking blade built around an Aogami Super carbon steel core wrapped in stainless cladding. We partner with a respected blacksmith shop in Japan for the forging and assembly, and the AS core is heat-treated to an impressive 64 Rockwell for excellent edge retention and daily performance.
This knife was designed with a straightforward, utilitarian mindset. No extra frills—just a well-made tool that cuts beautifully and delivers exceptional value. It features a traditional octagonal ho wood handle paired with a water buffalo horn ferrule for a classic, comfortable feel in hand.
We do not have a saya that fits this knife. We recommend using a felt blade guard instead.

OK, I am fan of Kohetsu...Especially if you do not need or want "art" knives. I honestly don't think line cooks or home cooks, heck even some pro chefs need look any further than Kohetsu for knives. They use some of the best steels you can find, they are extremely sharp and have extreme sharpenability. Kohetsu knives are simple with a workhorse sensibility,use me everyday for everything vibe that is just plain fun in the kitchen. I bought the 120 petty to use as a longer paring knife and it suits that roll with ease and aplomb. Is it sharp? I cut myself while looking at and turning the blade just barely touching a finger when it was knew, yes, it is sharp. And it sharpens very easy on a 2000 green brick followed by a King 6000. Anyone needing a short petty should look at Kohetsu line. Word!
