The Yu Kurosaki Shizuku SG2 Petty 150mm is a double-bevel stainless utility knife best fit for users requiring precision in peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. This 150mm blade features SG2 powdered steel from Takefu Special Steel, measuring 30mm at the heel with spine thicknesses of 1.7mm at the heel, 1.5mm at mid, and 1.1mm at the tip. Weighing 77g, it suits detailed tasks such as deveining shrimp or cutting garnishes where a slim profile aids intricate work.

SG2 stainless steel achieves 62-64 HRC through uniform carbide distribution inherent to its powdered metallurgy, providing edge retention and wear resistance for prolonged use. The fine grain structure supports sharpness and durability during general-purpose prep and in-hand peeling. As a fully stainless construction, this petty knife resists corrosion and requires standard cleaning without the reactive care needed for carbon-clad blades. The double bevel geometry accommodates precise cutting motions across various ingredients while maintaining stability during detail-oriented kitchen tasks.

Care Instruction
  1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
  2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
  3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
  4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
  5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
  6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

    Utility, Paring

    The Petty knife, a smaller Japanese utility knife, serves as an ideal tool for precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. With a blade length ranging from 120mm to 180mm (4.7 to 7 inches), it stands out for its ability to handle detailed work like deveining shrimp or cutting garnishes. Its slightly longer and slimmer profile compared to the Western paring knife enhances its functionality for intricate tasks, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen toolkit.
