Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Petty Utility Japanese Chef Knife Alternative Ivory Handle (6" (150mm))

Sometimes called a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chef's knife, yet larger than a paring knife. This versatile tool is perfect for tasks requiring more dexterity than a larger chef's knife can provide, while still handling bigger tasks than a paring knife. The Petty knife will quickly become your go-to kitchen tool. You will immediately notice the difference when using a hand-forged Japanese Petty knife of incomparable sharpness for precision tasks like peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables, as well as for handling larger jobs typically assigned to a small chef's knife. A razor-sharp Petty knife is perfect for intricately carving and styling vegetables and fruits for presentations and garnishes, and it performs just as well in preparing full meals.

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.
