Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Shirogami Petty IW-1181 12cm

A 120 mm Ittetsu Petty knife is a need for both home cooks and pros in the kitchen. These are incredibly adaptable knives that are made to handle the little, sporadic jobs that crop up in the kitchen, whether it be at home or in a professional setting. Three layers of material make up this Ittetsu petty knife: Shirogami steel, iron clad, and both. a layer of carbon steel at the center that is shielded from the outside by a layer of iron, a process known as forge welding or Sanmai. Both carbon steel and iron are prone to rust and need to be kept dry and clean at all times to prevent discoloration and oxidation. Waterproof mono octagonal walnut handle. Handmade in Echizen, Japan, are Ittetsu knives.
