The Haruyuki Kokuto is forged from a modern high-tech stainless steel called Ginsan, which was specially designed to cut much like traditional Japanese high-carbon steel without being a rusty pain in the butt! You get the joy of cutting with a traditional Japanese knife but none of the fussy maintenance. Truly, the best of both worlds.

The lighter Japanese ‘wa handle’ gives the knife a forward balance that allows it to fall through food effortlessly and do more of the work for you, which I absolutely love. Combined with a rustic ‘nashiji’ finish that looks like the skin of an Asian pear, it’s a traditionally elegant blade.

Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. The resulting knives have the feel and aesthetics of a traditional handmade knife while being more accessible to young cooks and folks starting their knife collection.

About the Shape - This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, Petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Love it

"Great little knife, light, sharp and easy to control."

Great gift

"Bought this petty as a gift, but my friend has reported back and loves the knife. After many online shops this was my first in-store visit/purchase. Very knowledgeable staff and way too much cool stuff for sale under one roof. The website is great and all, but I highly recommend going to a store, if it’s an option for you…."

— David M. (5/5)

Perfect Petty

"This was one of my first Japanese knife purchases and it did not disappoint. I purchased a couple more from the Haruyuki Kokuto line later after testing out the Ginsan stainles steel. TLDR - Perfect small (80 mm is so easy to manouver), sharp, and beautiful petty. Excels at peeling."
