An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Petty is your smaller knife for delicate work. Think mincing garlic, trimming up chicken thighs or meats, skinning fruit, and just about anything else the Bunka or Gyuto is too large for. It's an essential part of your knife range and we use ours almost daily.

Steel Type Read

ZDP-189 steel, a premium high-carbon stainless steel developed by Hitachi, is celebrated for its exceptional hardness and unmatched edge retention. With an extremely high carbon content and added chromium, it offers outstanding sharpness and corrosion resistance. Its remarkable wear resistance and ability to hold a razor edge make ZDP-189 one of the finest choices for high-performance Japanese knives.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Embracing a rapid rise in popularity for his unique designs and committment to striving for perfection, Shunsuke Manaka is the man behind Kisuke knives. From the sketchbook to the kitchen, he is the sole craftsman behind the entire knifemaking process. A tragedy struck in July 2024, by which his entire workshop and most of his attached family home burnt down in a fire. We started a fundraiser for him that raised enough funds in conjunction with other donations that allowed him to set up shop in Sanjo, Niigata, amongst other renowned knifemakers in the area, and he is now producing knives again in 2026.
