Tokushu Knife Stainless Clad White #2 Tsuchime Petty 80mm

Compact precision with a traditional White #2 edge

The Tokushu Knife Stainless Clad White #2 Tsuchime Petty 80mm is a compact Japanese utility knife for peeling, trimming, garnish work and other small, precise tasks. Its short blade offers excellent control in hand and feels far more natural than a full-size gyuto when working with garlic, herbs, fruit or small vegetables.

White #2 carbon steel core

White #2, also known as Shirogami #2, is a simple, fine-grained Japanese carbon steel valued for taking an exceptionally keen edge and sharpening easily on whetstones. The exposed cutting edge is reactive and will gradually develop a natural patina, so it should be wiped clean and dried promptly after use.

Stainless cladding and tsuchime finish

Stainless cladding protects most of the blade face, reducing day-to-day maintenance while preserving the crisp cutting feel of the White #2 core. A hammered tsuchime finish gives the blade subtle texture and visual contrast without making the knife feel ornate.

Cherry wood wa handle

The lightweight cherry wood wa handle is paired with a pale wood ferrule. Its simple construction keeps the balance nimble and gives the small blade the control required for detailed work.

Best suited to

• Peeling and trimming fruit and vegetables
• Garlic, shallots, herbs and garnish preparation
• Removing stems and other fine knife work
• Small in-hand cutting tasks

This knife is not intended for bones, frozen food, hard squash, prying or twisting cuts.
