Trade In Hitohira FJ 150mm Petty VG10 Ho

Trade in petty in good condition without original packaging. This stainless steel petty has been refurbished to remove some shallow but numerous surface scratches. FJ's are killer knives to being with and with the couple rounds of sharpening that this one has seen, it's should be a tough little knife. The handle has some scratches but has cleaned up nicely. 

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.
