Forged by Master Yu Kurosaki in Takefu as part of the New Gekko line, this double bevel blade features a uniform high grit Migaki finish and measures 152mm along the cutting edge. The sanmai stainless clad construction pairs with VG XEOS steel from Takefu Special Steel, a non-powdered grade achieving 62-63 HRC through a special melting method that creates a fine microstructure for improved wear resistance and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis petty profile suits in-hand peeling and general purpose tasks where detailed control is necessary. The VG XEOS core offers high corrosion resistance and hardness, though the blade is noted as slightly brittle and requires careful handling during use. Weighing between 79g and 91g with a spine thickness tapering from 2.0mm at the heel to 1.0mm near the tip, the knife balances thin geometry with structural integrity. The octagonal ebony handle provides a tapered grip that complements the blade's functional design, resulting in a tool focused on intricate kitchen preparation and easy maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yu Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312923496669,"sku":"KS-GEKKO-PT150-EB","price":288.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/KurosakiVGXEOSGekkoPetty150mm-20250326-01.jpg?v=1742971954","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/kurosaki-vg-xeos-gekko-petty-150mm-ebony-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
