Tadafusa "Ookami" Tsuchime Petty 150mm SLD

150mm petty with an octagonal ho wood handle, 103 grams. Bigger than a normal petty, so it works both in the hand and on the board. This is the knife that lives next to your gyuto and does everything the gyuto is too big for.

Ookami is Tadafusa's hammered line. The tsuchime (hammered) face helps food fall off the blade instead of sticking, and the spine is left thick at the handle: real Sanjo workhorse geometry, a knife built to be used hard every day, not babied.

The core is laminated SLD, semi-stainless: long edge life and easy to live with, no worry about rust.

All knives JNS carry are handmade, one by one. Size and thickness can vary a little, and small marks in the finish can happen. This is normal for a handmade knife.
