Detailed Description
This versatile knife, measuring 105mm (4.1 in) or 120mm(4.7), are combination of a small santoku and a petty knife. It is perfect for various intricate tasks, especially when working with vegetables or hand-held foods. Its specialty lies in its ability to handle precise cuts with ease.


Gingami No.3 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is a very fine-grained Stainless Steel that can attain edge sharpness and edge retention comparable to some High Carbon Steels. It has even been used to create corrosion-resistant versions of Japanese traditional single bevel knives. It is very popular with both professionals and home cooks and is generally believed to be slightly easier to sharpen than VG-10.
