Moriguchi Solare 135mm Petty

Moriguchi Solare 135mm Petty Knife

Double shinogi style petty.

Moriguchi Solare Series

Elegant blades made from White #1 carbon steel wrapped in stainless. White # 1 steel is normally reserved for high end sashimi knives so we are excited to offer the steel of purists in an all round blade. All White steels are more reactive than blue so the stainless cladding makes it easier to keep this knife rust free as you will only need to look after the exposed core.

These are designed as workhorse knives that are still thin enough for precise cutting.

We love the Japanese Rosewood round handles which are quite rare with most knifemakers attaching octagons nowadays

The exposed edge on these blades will patina (change colour) which is natural for carbon steel however this is only surface deep and can mostly be removed with our rust clean products

Please note:

• The core material is made from carbon steel so care should be taken to keep the edge dry after use to prevent rust.
• Apply a thin coat of Camellia oil to the carbon edge before storage to protect from moisture.
  
• As the handle is natural wood, colour and grain may vary from the photo.

Knife care for carbon steel stainless clad knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• The knife is clad in stainless steel to protect against rust however the exposed carbon steel core (at the cutting edge) is susceptible to rust.
• Do not leave wet overnight or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
• A grey/black patina will form on the edge. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
• We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
