Details

The KURO Kurouchi Carbon Steel Clad Petty Knife is a heavy ironclad knife that feels substantial in the hand, while the walnut handle is smooth and warm. The White #2 carbon edge with soft black iron cladding provides a distinctive look, as the final layer of iron has an oxide coating to help prevent rust. Heavy and solid, these knives are heavy-duty workhorses.
