An In depth look

Blade Type

The Petty knife, a quintessential tool in Japanese cuisine, is a smaller utility knife used for precise, delicate tasks. Often considered a smaller sibling to the chef's knife, it excels in hand-held tasks like peeling, trimming, and intricate cutting. Its versatility makes it an essential for detailed culinary work.

Steel Type

Swedish Stainless Steel, a premium stainless alloy refined for exceptional purity and consistency, offers a superb balance between edge performance and corrosion resistance. It provides a clean, smooth cutting feel and maintains sharpness well while being much easier to care for than high-carbon steels. Though it doesn’t take quite as fine an edge as reactive steels like White #2, it delivers excellent durability and stability in everyday kitchen environments. Ideal for chefs who want reliable sharpness and effortless maintenance without constant worry about rust.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.
