Yoshihiro Ginsan High Carbon Stainless Steel Petty Utility Knife Triple Ring Ebony Handle

Introducing the Yoshihiro Ginsan Steel Petty Knife, where traditional knife-making techniques meet modern metallurgy. Crafted from Ginsan steel, this knife showcases a breakthrough in blending high carbon steel with stain-resistant elements. With a hardness rating of 61 on the Rockwell scale, it offers a rare combination of traditional Japanese high carbon performance and stainless steel properties, ensuring exceptional durability and edge retention.

Featuring a core clad in softer stainless steel for enhanced durability and ease of maintenance, this knife is equipped with an ambidextrous octagonal premium ebony wood handle, complemented by a double bolster for balance and comfort. It also includes a magnolia wood saya cover, which is easy to clean and resistant to stains and odors.

Often referred to as a utility knife, the Petty is a versatile tool that combines the dexterity of a paring knife with the size and utility of a small chef's knife. Perfect for tasks that need precision but are too large for a paring knife, the Petty will quickly become the go-to knife in your kitchen, making it ideal for small, intricate cutting jobs that larger chef knives may not handle as well.

Care & Sharpening: Traditional Japanese knife-making emphasizes maintaining a sharp edge, requiring diligent care. Sharpening and honing should be performed using only water whetstones. To preserve the knife’s integrity, hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. It is recommended to use this knife exclusively on boneless flesh of fish for optimal performance and longevity.
