The Makoto Kurosaki Samidorizuki SGStrix Petty 135mm is a double-bevel stainless utility knife best fit for users requiring precision in peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. This 135mm blade features SPG STRIX powdered stainless steel from Takefu Special Steel, hardened to 63-65 HRC. The steel formulation strengthens the metallic base to provide sharpening characteristics similar to carbon steel while maintaining stainless properties and high hardness.

Designed for in-hand peeling and general purpose detail work, this petty profile handles tasks such as deveining shrimp or cutting garnishes. The octagonal stabilised birch handle pairs with a blade measuring 2.0mm at the heel, 1.9mm at mid, and 1.4mm at the tip. Weighing 81g with a 30mm heel height, the knife suits intricate kitchen work where a slim profile aids functionality. The SPG STRIX core achieves ideal cutting edges through its strong metallic base, offering ease of maintenance on sharpening stones despite the high hardness rating.

Care Instruction

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

Profile: Petty

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.

Steel: SPG STRIX
SPG STRIX was born from the proposition to develop a “blade-oriented powdered steel” that can achieve optimum performance when used as a cutting tool.
While we have heard that conventional hard powder steels with a hardness of about HV900 (HRC67) are difficult to sharpen on a grinding wheel, we have not heard of many such cases with carbon steels of the same hardness.
Although the hardness is the same, the ease of sharpening is different. Why is there such a difference?
The answer is that blade steel hardness is the combination of the "hardness of the metal base" and the "hardness of the metal carbides".
SPG STRIX is a stainless powder steel that was created to strengthen a metallic base material, featuring both workability and ease of sharpening like carbon steel, despite its high hardness.
It is the best powder steel for knives, as its strong metallic base achieves ideal cutting edges and provides unsurpassed cutting sharpness.
