Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.
Saya Cover
This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

Product Details
The ebony and alternative ivory edition of our VG-10 Petty is a 6" (150mm) utility knife with a high-contrast octagonal handle. It bridges the gap between a paring knife and a chef's knife, with a VG-10 stainless core at 60 HRC and 46 hammered Damascus layers. Includes a magnetic maple saya.
Our Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Petty Knife is forged with care to create a sturdy blade that excels in both small and large tasks. Crafted with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, this knife has a VG-10 Core that offers exceptional sharpness and durability. Complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Octagonal ebony Handle affixed with an alternative ivory bolster, it is as beautiful as it is functional. The Saya, a protective wooden sheath, is included to protect the knife when not in use and adds to its elegance. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction, ensuring food won't stick to it. Every knife from Yoshihiro is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, creating a unique and one-of-a-kind work of art.
