Overview
The Hatsukokoro Hinotori V-Toku2 Rainbow Damascus Petty 150mm is a compact, high-performance Japanese utility knife for detailed prep, trimming, and precise slicing. Its etched rainbow Damascus cladding combines copper, brass, and steel layers, while the V-Toku2 carbon-steel core offers fine edge formation, strong retention, and a crisp cutting feel.
The 150mm blade gives more reach than a paring knife while retaining excellent control for trimming proteins, slicing fruit and citrus, preparing herbs, mincing shallots, and handling smaller station work.

Cypress & Horn Handle: A complete, ready-to-use knife fitted with a custom Cypress wood wa handle and horn ferrule.

Common Questions
Q: What is a petty knife used for?
A: A petty excels at trimming silver skin, slicing citrus, halving shallots, cutting sandwiches, mincing garlic, and controlled prep where a full gyuto feels oversized.
Q: What does blade only mean?
A: The Blade Only variant arrives without a handle installed and is intended for custom wa-handle installation. Professional fitting may be required.
Q: How should I care for V-Toku2 carbon steel?
A: Hand wash, dry promptly, and never leave the blade wet. The exposed carbon-steel core can form a patina and may rust if neglected.
Care and Maintenance
For longer storage, apply a light coat of tsubaki oil. Regular light maintenance on a leather strop can help preserve edge performance between sharpenings.
