Product Details

Crafted from White Steel #2, this Petty knife features a hardness of 62 to 63 on the Rockwell scale and a striking Black-Forged Kurouchi finish that enhances its rustic charm and durability. The carbonized coating adds a unique look, making it a standout tool in your kitchen.

Known as a utility knife, the Petty strikes the perfect balance in size—larger than a paring knife yet smaller than a chef's knife—ideal for slicing herbs, trimming meats, and peeling delicate fruits. It quickly becomes your go-to tool, enhancing your culinary experience.

Elevate meal prep with this handcrafted Petty knife. Whether dicing vibrant vegetables or carving a roast chicken, each task becomes a culinary masterpiece. This knife is not just a tool but an extension of your creativity in the kitchen.

To maintain its sharpness, be sure to sharpen and hone it with whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients, and avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods to protect the fine edge.
