Moritaka utility knife 9 cm - precision in the hand

The shortest petty in the series is for fine tasks where the item is held in the hand rather than lying on the board: peeling, dressing, trimming and decorating. 9 cm is the shortest in the series and the most agile. Moritaka in Kumamoto is one of the world's oldest knifemakers with a history dating back to the 13th century. The knives are still forged by hand, and the dark kurouchi surface is allowed to remain on the blade. This makes each knife easily recognizable – and slightly different from the next.

Why a hand-forged petty?

Because precision work rewards a thin, very sharp edge. Aogami Super stays sharp for a long time, and the small blade is quick to sharpen on a whetstone when it is finally needed.

Patination is part of the charm

Aogami Super is not stainless. The blade reacts to acid and moisture, and it develops a patina from day one. Rinse and dry it immediately after use, and the patina will be even and dark, and rust will never take hold. In return, you get a steel that can be sharpened sharper and holds its edge longer than most stainless alloys.
