Hitohira PM R2 Petty Knife 150mm Made by Takamura
This Hitohira PM series is of San-Mai construction with a core of R2 powdered steel (63/65HRC) with a western handle made from red Pakka wood, these beautiful blades have a great standard of fit and finish and are forged by master craftsmen based in Takefu, essentially this is a stripped down version of their Uchigumo series. This collection is extremely thin behind the edge making them fantastic cutters straight out the box, the fine edge geometry of this line does make them a little delicate as the steel is of such a high hardness.
