Named Hikari—translating to "light" or "radiance"—this striking 130mm Petty knife by Hatsukokoro contrasts a dark, acid-etched kurosome (blackened) damascus cladding against a razor-sharp cutting core. Forged from SLD cold-work die steel, this blade delivers carbon-steel-like edge retention and toughness while offering high stain resistance, making it an exceptional performer for intricate prep work.

The 130mm petty profile excels at precision tasks: peeling, trimming, coring, and off-the-board detail work. Ground thin with a flat, architectural spine and polished choil, the blade is fitted with a lightweight octagonal Mediterranean olive wood wa-handle with warm, golden wood grain.

Key Features:

  • SLD Tool Steel Core: High-performance alloy hardened to 61–62 HRC for exceptional edge-holding and near-stainless ease of care.

  • Kurosome Damascus: Acid-treated multi-layer damascus cladding providing a dramatic finish and food-release drag reduction.

  • 130mm Versatile Utility Size: Compact and nimble for agile hand work, fruit prep, and delicate garnishes.

  • Octagonal Olive Wood Wa-Handle: Dense, naturally oiled Mediterranean olive wood featuring clean geometric lines and perfect pinch-grip balance.
