Our Yoshihiro Hayate ZDP-189 Super High Carbon Stainless Steel Petty is a cutting-edge, handcrafted Japanese chef's knife designed to offer unmatched performance. ZDP-189, a high-carbon steel, represents the forefront of next-generation materials developed in Japan. With an HRC scale of 66-67, this blade retains its superior edge sharpness for an extended period, making it the ideal choice for high-volume, daily prep work in professional kitchens. Its core is clad with a softer stainless steel, enhancing durability and ease of maintenance.

This exceptional knife is further complemented by a traditional Japanese style handcrafted Ebony handle, featuring triple ring and a double buffalo horn bolster. The knife comes equipped with a protective Saya, a wooden sheath that preserves the blade’s integrity and adds to its aesthetic appeal when not in use. The Saya is coated with a non-toxic lacquer made from organic tree saps in Japan, providing an environmentally friendly finish.

The Yoshihiro Hayate ZDP-189 Petty is not just beautiful—it’s incredibly functional. Known as a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chef's knife, but larger than a paring knife. It is perfect for tasks that require dexterity in tight spaces while still being capable of handling more substantial tasks. Whether you’re peeling, trimming, or slicing small fruits and vegetables, or tackling larger jobs like preparing meals, this knife offers exceptional sharpness and precision. It also excels in creating intricate carvings and garnishes for beautiful presentations.

This knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, requiring a high degree of skill to create. It combines exceptional performance and exquisite beauty, making it a testament to the artistry of the artisans who craft it. The Yoshihiro Hayate ZDP-189 Petty is not only a functional tool but also a work of art that will elevate your cooking experience.

For proper care, we recommend hand washing with a mild cleanser. The knife is NSF Certified and handmade by skilled tradesmen in Japan. Sharpening should be done using Japanese water stones for optimal edge retention.
