Petty Japanese kitchen knife Makoto Kurosaki STYLK-501 13.5cm

The Makoto Kurosaki STYLK-501 is a small Japanese utility knife made for peeling, cutting, and handling tiny food items. The blade is made from SPG STRIX powdered stainless steel and has a stainless steel coating on the outside. This special type of steel is very hard, around 64 to 65 HRC, which makes it wear-resistant and able to keep a sharp edge for a long time.Even though it's hard, it's still not too difficult to sharpen using water stones. A "Black Hammer" finish makes the blade surface look unique and has a rough, textured feel. The handle is made from Makassar ebony, with a green decorative ring and a bolster made from black Pakkawood. Makoto Kurosaki is the brother of the famous Japanese swordmaker Yu Kurosaki.
