This double bevel petty profile measures 150mm in edge length and suits in-hand peeling, trimming, slicing fruits and vegetables, deveining shrimp, and cutting garnishes. The knife weighs 82g with a heel height of 28mm, spine thickness of 2.2mm at the heel tapering to 0.6mm at the tip, and features an octagonal WA handle crafted from durable Black Chacate timber with fine texture and dark coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami #2 steel forms the core, achieving 61-63 HRC hardness through added chromium and tungsten that improve toughness and create hard carbide molecules for enhanced edge retention while maintaining ease of sharpening and resistance to chipping. The san-mai construction uses soft iron cladding rather than stainless steel, meaning the reactive carbon steel blade requires drying after use and light oiling to prevent rust. The kurouchi surface finish characterises this workhorse grind within the Aosagi line, offering a clean aesthetic on a knife designed for detailed kitchen work where users accept the maintenance requirements of non-stainless carbon steel in exchange for cutting performance at a competitive price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45674872176861,"sku":"HS-AOSA-B2KU-PE150BC","price":176000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/Hatsukokoro_Aosagi_Blue_2_Kurouchi_Petty_150mm_Black_Chacate-20240909-01.jpg?v=1725864655","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-aosagi-blue-2-kurouchi-petty-150mm-black-chacate","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
