An In depth look

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 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


Introducing
Artisan Crafter with Traditional Techniques
Knives we offer at Chef’s Edge are artisan-crafted in Japan — the product of traditional techniques, skilled hands, and a culture deeply rooted in blade-making excellence.
We work directly with blacksmiths and workshops across Japan to curate what we believe is the most exceptional range of Japanese kitchen knives in the world. Whether shaped in a small forge in Sanjo or hand-finished in Sakai, each piece reflects the care, precision, and performance that define true craftsmanship.
At Chef’s Edge, we exist to bring these tools — and their stories — into the hands of cooks who appreciate the difference.
