Sakai Takayuki Mirror 45 layer Petty 135mm nigara-hamono the R2/SG2 steel core clad

the R2/SG2 steel core clad in stainless steel looks out of this world and the edge retention is exceptional

it has a mirror finish on both sides so reflective it was really difficult to get a photo of it without without a reflection

Small and powerful

It is carbon steel so you will get a patina developing

Nimble and light with a great finish

Sakai Takayuki Mirror 45 layer Petty 135mm nigara-hamono the R2/SG2 steel core cladAn excellent all rounder and mid sized petty. It handles intricate jobs well and can also be used for general cutting. With a balance point just behind the metal bolster and a thin overall blade profile it's easy to use and looks great too.
