An In Depth Look

Blade Type
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
Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Care Information
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.

Great petty. THIN behind the edge.

Got this petty about two weeks ago, been using it every day at work, it comes out of the box ridiculously sharp, stays that way with a bit of honing every other day. SUPER thin behind the edge. Used it to slice some sizable Mac nuts the other day at work and it had no problem making clean cuts through them. The factory patina on this knife is also incredible. Haven’t had to worry about rusting or flash rust at all, even when left out for a minute or two.
