The new Senko line from Yu Kurosaki is made from high performance corrosion resistant SG2/R2 steel. With a thin grind, beautiful hammering, easy maintenance and excellent steel these knives are quickly becoming a house favorite.
*The Petty or Utility knife is a small knife used for smaller and more delicate tasks. They range in size from 120mm to 210mm and usually have a short blade height and thin blade. They can be used as a line knife or to prep various smaller items. Great for things like cutting fruit, herbs or even to portion and slice smaller proteins. In our opinion this is a top 3 knife everyone should have in their arsenal.*
