Masutani Kokuryu Nakiri + Petty Combo

 For more detailed information on each of the knives follow the links below!

Petty 135 mm 

Nakiri 165 mm 

Included in this set is a 165 mm (6.5") Nakiri and a 135 mm (5.5") Petty knife. They make a great pairing for any home cook looking to upgrade their kitchen knife game. Made from a stainless steel called VG-1 Gold they are rust resistant and will never discolour. 

The Nakiri is a vegetable cleaver that has great board contact for push cutting or chopping techniques, and is great to scoop up ingredients like a bench scraper. Couple this Nakiri with a Petty knife which is used for smaller random tasks like slicing steaks, small aromatics prep and other more intricate tasks in addition to being a great butchery knife and you have a set of knives that can accomplish 99% of what you will come across in the kitchen. 

Masutani-san works out of the Takefu knife village with his son and law and grandson. He makes beautiful knives that perform at a higher level than their price would suggest. They are extremely sharp out of the box and are very beautiful to look at as well. It should be noted that the handle colours don't perfectly match on these two knives and the petty has a darker blue handle while the Nakiri have a lighter blue handle. 

Knife Care (Stainless Steel)

• Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
• NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
• Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
• Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
