As each knife is individually hand-forged, there may be slight variations in size and weight from one knife to another. These variations are a natural characteristic of handmade craftsmanship and should be understood as part of the individuality of each knife. However, they do not affect the sharpness or performance of the knife.
This Petty Knife features Aogami #2 as its core steel, clad on both sides with stainless steel. It combines the excellent sharpness and edge retention characteristic of Aogami #2 with the ease of maintenance provided by stainless steel, making it a practical and easy-to-use knife for detailed everyday kitchen tasks.
With a 140mm blade length, this Petty Knife is an ideal size for detailed and precise work where a larger knife may be difficult to handle. It is suitable for peeling fruits and vegetables, preparing ingredients, trimming meat, making delicate cuts, and many other tasks. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver and allows for precise control during detailed work.
The blade features a traditional Nashiji finish. The subtle texture of the Nashiji finish gives the blade a distinctive appearance and allows you to enjoy the natural character created through hand-forging. The stainless steel cladding also provides excellent practicality while maintaining the beauty of the blade.
The handle features a burnt lacquer finish. Its rich, natural appearance and comfortable, secure grip complement the traditional character of the blade, creating a refined combination of functionality and Japanese craftsmanship.
The knife will be delivered in a dedicated presentation box. In addition to protecting the knife during shipping, the packaging provides a special experience when opening the product.
