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

Japanese SG2, also known as R2 steel, is a high-end, powdered metallurgy stainless steel and one of the finest knife-making steels available in Japan. It is a favourite of many for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. Its fine, uniform grain structure enables razor-sharp edges, all the while holding an edge for much longer than Carbon steel knives, without needing to be concerned about rust appearing.

Care Information

This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.

Masterpiece out of the box

This knife is a masterpiece. Its light as a feather, in fact when you use it you don't even feel like you holding anything in your hands, well balanced and beautifully crafted. Its so beautiful that I just stared at it for over a week before using it. One of my favourite knife so far. Laser sharp out of the box, must be used with extreme caution! respect this knife and you have a companion for life. The service and speed of shipping by Chefs Edge was faultless... then again, they are Aussies, they get everything right.
