150mm Petty from the Ajikataya line by Mutsumi Hinoura. Layered steel construction, shirogami 2 cutting core with iron cladding. Rustic Finish (Nashiji) finish with a Magnolia (Ho) wood handle and black horn ferrule Oval.
Shirogami, or white steel, which is a very fine grained carbon steel made from low contaminate iron. It's loved for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a very fine, razor sharp edge.
Mutsumi Hinoura has been training and working in Sanjo with his father, master smith Tsukasa Hinoura, since 2001. His knives are similar, with good distal tapers and wide kiriba style bevels, and really wonderful heat treatments. They both have a lot of experience with hunting and outdoor knives, and their kitchen knives seem to carry some of the same qualities of toughness.
Mutsumi’s shirogami incorporates a very good edge life along with a good toughness for it’s hardness, it is crisp and a bit hard feeling on stones but still yielding and easy to polish. It can work well at a very wide variety of finishes especially which if you are getting into sharpening more can reveal a lot about the personality of different stones. We use a Mutsumi shirogami 2 as part of our stone testing knives.
This knife has a hard carbon steel core with iron cladding for added durability. The entire blade will develop a patina with use, especially with acidic foods. Special attention is needed to keep from rusting. Do not leave wet. Hand wash & dry, no dishwasher. This knife if susceptible to chipping with misuse. Hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards are preferred; avoid bamboo and plastic cutting boards. Rust can be removed with a light abrasive.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and dried immediately after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.
Twisting, scraping, and heavy use, as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.
We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
