Aogami 2 San Mai Petty / Utility

$200.00

160mm forged San Mai petty knife — Aogami 2 core clad in 15N20 — traditional wa-style Ipe handle with redwood burl accent.

Precision in a pocketable form: the 160mm petty excels at fine prep — peeling, trimming, and delicate slicing — with the responsive edge and bite of Aogami 2 at its heart. The San Mai construction bonds a high-carbon blue steel core to tough 15N20 cladding for a blade that balances razor performance with corrosion resistance and striking hamon-like contrast. Hand-forged geometry yields a keen, long-lasting edge and a lively, tactile feel under the wrist.

The wa-style Ipe handle offers ergonomic comfort, heat and moisture resistance, and a dense, satin-dark stability that sits naturally in hand. A slice of redwood burl provides a warm, organic counterpoint—visually dramatic and uniquely patterned—accenting the knife with one-of-a-kind character. Finished and fitted by hand, this petty is a focused tool for cooks who demand precision, durability, and singular aesthetic presence on the cutting board.
