Second-hand petty knife from Masamoto. This knife is from their HC series, featuring a carbon steel and a Western handle.
The blade is polished, then sharpened using a series of Japanese whetstones with a 4000 grit finish. The handle is lightly oiled.
This beautiful one-of-a-kind kitchen knife is made from Japanese carbon steel, and has a decent hardness of around 61 HRC. It features a forged-welded bolster that goes into the tang.
Note: the steel alloy used in this knife is not stainless, so it will patina and potentially rust over time if not kept clean. After use, it’s recommended to wash and dry to avoid rust.
For every second-hand knife purchased, I will donate to the European reforestation organization Life Terra. You can read more about it here.
