SKU: Subarashī_P135_yakiFukushima 素晴らしい Subarashī, Petty 135 mm
This Japanese office knife has a core of Japanese Aogami super carbon steel (Super Blue Paper) with a protective layer (Sanmai) on the outside. This double-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by the master blacksmith Fukushima-san from the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan (Kyushu island). The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy.
- Blade length: 135 mm
- Total length: 265 mm
- Weight: 65-70 grams
- Steel type: core steel: Japanese Aogami Super steel "Blue paper steel" (non-stainless) with 2 layers of softer steel on the outside.

- Beware: this piece does not have the name on the blade (so the knife you get is different then on the images!)
Like all Japanese knives, the handmade knives from Fukushima are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
