Tetsujin is an extremely desirable knife, hand-crafted by 2 highly skilled individuals. Heat treatment from Tamura Toru is impressive to say the least, the sharpening from Naohito Myojin is next level. For knife enthusiasts, these would be in the top 5 knives you must try.
Knives are supplied with lacquer coating, it's recommended to remove before use. The lacquer can affect the look of the kasumi finish but that generally cleans up once [carefully] removed.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Petty & Paring Knife
Petty knives are narrow but can range quite widely in length, from smaller profiles that can be used as paring knives, through to longer models that verge on Sujihiki (Japanese slicing knives). Whatever size you choose, the petty knife is extremely useful in the kitchen, the perfect partner to your Gyuto.
