Hinoura Ajikataya 150mm Petty Knife – White #2 – Kurouchi Finish
Dishwasher Safe | No
Crafted by Mutsumi Hinoura, a fourth-generation bladesmith from Sanjō, Niigata, the Ajikataya Petty Knife 150mm is a finely balanced utility knife designed for precision prep work—perfect for peeling, trimming, and small-scale slicing. As part of the Ajikataya (味方屋) series, this handcrafted blade carries the legacy of over a century of traditional Japanese blacksmithing.
Forged from high-performance White #2 steel (Shirogami #2) and finished with a rustic kurouchi (黒打ち) texture, the blade delivers a razor-sharp edge, superb edge retention, and effortless sharpening. The finely grained carbon steel ensures clean, precise cuts for delicate kitchen tasks.
Fitted with a traditional octagonal chestnut wood handle (八角柄), this knife offers a lightweight feel and a secure, comfortable grip—ideal for controlled, detail-oriented cutting. The compact 150mm size provides agility and maneuverability where it matters most.
Each Ajikataya knife is a reflection of the shokunin (職人) spirit—dedication, skill, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
