Misono Swedish Carbon Steel Petty 120mm
Misono's Swedish carbon line is how a lot of Japanese cooks first learn to live with a reactive blade. The 120 mm petty is the most-used knife in many kitchens and the least expensive way to try real carbon steel.
- Swedish carbon steel, about HRC 60, takes a screaming edge on a cheap stone
- Will patina; wipe it dry and it will outlast you
- Classic Seki Western handle, small enough for in-hand peeling
