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

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for crafting top-quality, long-lasting kitchen knives.

Katsushige Anryu is a fourth-generation blacksmith from Echizen, Japan, continuing a family legacy that began in 1873 with his great-grandfather, Hansaburo Anryu. Joining the family forge straight out of high school in 1959, Anryu-san went on to master traditional knife forging under the guidance of his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, and was later certified as a Traditional Craftsman of Japan.

Highly respected for both his craft and character, Anryu-san has served as the Chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, a collective of Echizen’s most esteemed makers. In 2015, he was awarded a Medal of Honour for Traditional Crafts, recognising his lifelong dedication to preserving and advancing the art of Japanese bladesmithing.
