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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Tsukasa Hinoura River Jump -  \u003c\/strong\u003eTsukasa Hinoura represents the third generation of his family‘s forging tradition. As a young craftsman, his role models were Nagashima and Shigeyoshi Iwasaki of Sanjo. They enjoy an excellent reputation in Echigo and have done a great deal to advance the knife maker’s art in Sanjo. Tsukasa Hinoura, born in 1956, works in Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture, has been practicing his trade for 33 years. His blades are known for a refined and long lived edge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHinoura san consciously rejects the prefabricated Damascus steel blanks, referred to as “sekisouk-ko”, commonly used in Japan. Many of the country’s knife makers and industrial manufactures that produce Damascus blades use this “instant recipe”, but neglect to make this clear to customers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach knife in the series “River Jump” is a one of a kind example of the Japanese knife making art. Hinoura san is among the world’s few knife makers who are skilled in the time honoured Damascus techniques involving torsion. With river jump, he has taken the method even further. By means of torsion, he combines a multi layered Damascus bar with solid mono steel bar. The result is a blade of extraordinary beauty, in which the river like flow of the Damascus surface alternates with the peace of a perfectly even surface -animated and static elements in perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9w2y52MgRmI\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKnife Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/petty\"\u003ePetty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#2 Shirogami (White carbon) Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRockwell Hardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62:64\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWa (Japanese) Handle, Octagon Magnolia wood and water buffalo horn collar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlacksmith\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/pages\/tsukasa-hinoura\"\u003eTsukasa Hinoura\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKnife Line\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/hinoura-river-jump\"\u003eHinoura River\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Tsukasa Hinoura","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":5341218180,"sku":"HIR150PE","price":1474.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/damascus-petty-a-1-2.jpg?v=1620773359","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/products\/hinoura-river-jump-petty-150mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
