Trade In Hitohira FJ 150mm Petty VG10 Ho Horn

Trade in petty in good condition without original packaging. This stainless steel petty is apart of the FJ series that we consider to be of the best heat treatments of VG10 in the price point. A thin convex blade allows for smooth cutting with a sharpenable edge. This edge required some additional material removal to pass a small pit but it still retains the majority of it's blade height. Comes with fresh BC edge.

Original Listing:

Hand ground VG10 mono steel with a nice taper and convex hamaguri grind. This fine grind makes for smooth cutting and excellent food release with a long edge life and excellent stainless property. VG10 can be more work to sharpen as they get sharpened down but that will take quite some time as the thin convex grind keeps the blade thin as it gets sharpened in. 

Octagonal ho wood handles are lightweight, offer a secure grip and are naturally rot and mildew resistant.

Excellent quality grinding and finish on these, possibly some of the best in their price range and the heat treatment on this VG10 stainless is one of the best, we have sharpened these for many years and can say with full confidence it rivals much more expensive prestigious Japanese monosteel brands.
