This Petty knife is forged in a damascus san-mai construction with a K720 core. The cladding consists of 24 damascus layers on each side, providing structural support and a visible layered pattern. The blade is hardened to approximately 60–61 HRC, offering a good balance of edge retention and toughness for daily kitchen use.
K720 is a high-carbon tool steel known for its fine grain structure, strong edge stability, and clean sharpening behavior. It performs well in thin kitchen geometries and is well suited for precise cutting tasks.
The blade features a kiritsuke-style tip, the characteristic cut-off tip commonly found in Japanese knife designs. This shape allows for accurate tip work while maintaining a straight cutting edge for controlled push cuts.
A Petty knife is used for fine kitchen tasks where larger knives are less practical. It excels at trimming meat, slicing fruit and vegetables, peeling, and detailed preparation work both on the board and in hand.
The handle is made from walnut wood and shaped for a balanced, neutral grip.
