The **Munetoshi Black Hammer-Tone Petty 12 cm** is a stylish, slim Japanese kitchen knife. Petty is the Japanese version of the famous paring knife. This type of kitchen knife is made for smaller cutting tasks, like peeling a piece of fruit or other jobs that require precision. Tasks for which you don't want to use a large kitchen knife.

## Blade made from Shirogami steel

The blades are made from Shirogami steel. Also known as White Paper Steel. 'Shiro' means white in Japanese and 'gami' means paper. This is a classic Japanese type of steel with a high carbon content. Characterizing for this type of steel is the hardness (61 HRC to 63 HRC) and that it is very thin. The blades are laminated. This means that the Shirogami steel is laminated between two pieces of softer steel. This improves flexibility and the corrosion resistance of the blade, without compromising on the qualities of the Shirogami steel.

**Please note:** Shirogami steel is not stainless. So always clean and dry the knife thoroughly after use. As you cut vegetables and fruit, a patina will emerge. This natural reaction protects the blade from further corrosion in the long run. [Here you can read more about maintaining and using a Japanese knife.](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm)

The listed blade length is the length of the edge. The blade is enhanced with a 'distal taper'. This means that the blade is tapered towards the tip. This makes the knife a lot lighter and ensures that the weight is evenly divided and nicely balanced.

### Tsuchime and kurouchi finish

The finish of the knife is done in a hammered style, also known as ‘tsuchime’, which creates a unique and artisanal look. In addition, the surface has a dark ‘kurouchi’ coating, which not only adds to the robust, rustic look, but also provides protection against rust and oxidation.

## Handle made from bocote wood

The handle is made of luxurious bocote wood, known for its warm colour and unique grain. Buffalo horn was chosen for the bolster, or ‘Kakumaki’, providing a beautiful and stylish contrast to the wood. The handle has a traditional octagonal shape, making the knife comfortable for both right-handed users and left-handed users.

## Munetoshi, by Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki

Munetoshi knives are forged by hand in Japan by Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki. A third generation knife smith, born in 1949. He started out making sickles and axes. Real user objects with which he quickly made a name for himself. Some ten years ago he entered the world of kitchen knives. Where he, even today, provides a select group of enthusiasts, with stylish kitchen knives that are produced according to Japanese tradition.

To Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki function is key. Perfect finishes? Not as important. He feels that the kitchen knife is a tool that should, first and foremost, function. As a result, the knives may have subtle differences, making them unique. The Brute de Forge finish that emerges as you harden the steel is also unique for each knife. It gives these knives its rough charm you rarely see these days.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
