The Kohetsu AS Western Petty 150mm is a classically sized and styled petty, with a blade length of about 146mm and a height at the heel of almost 29mm. It features a really nicely polished choil and a flat cutting edge that sweeps to the fine tip almost 3/4 of the way along the blade.
The main ingredient of the knife is Aogami Super Blue, commonly referred to as AS. Aogami Super is known for the super acute and ultra-keen edges that it is able to produce. Not only can it take a fantastic edge, but it will hold it for a very long time. AS arguably has the best edge retention of all the blue and white carbon steels that we carry. The heat treat on this knife ranges from 63-64 HRC. This is a superlative carbon steel that makes a great foundation for this attractive and well-priced petty.
The knife is machine finished with some nice stamped kanji elements. Because it is laminated with a stainless steel the blade is protected up to the exposed AS core. So a simple wipe down and dry will be all that is needed to keep it looking good. The out of the box edge is very well done as are the well finished bolster and handle.
