Hatsukokoro Hayabusa SG-2 Petty 120mm

Some knives are tools and some are the reason you cook tonight. This is the second kind. SG2 is a powder steel that holds an edge longer than almost anything and still sharpens easily, and this petty is ground thin and light, a laser. The polished finish shows the lamination line.

Wenge octagonal handle. For the people who love thin, light knives.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Shallots and garlic, paper thin
• Trimming fish for crudo
• Segmenting citrus
• The knife we reach for when the job is small and the mood is good

"What is SG2?" A powder-metallurgy stainless steel. Very fine grain, very hard, very long edge life. It is what you buy when you have stopped compromising.
