At 61 HRC it holds a keen working edge through daily prep while remaining practical to maintain on Japanese water stones. The VG10 core is forged between two layers of damascus-patterned stainless steel using the Suminagashi technique, protecting the core from damage and oxidation. The petty is the Japanese equivalent of a Western paring or utility knife - small, nimble, and designed for tasks that require control over power. At 135mm it sits between a paring knife and a small gyuto, handling in-hand peeling and trimming as well as on-board work with shallots, herbs, and small proteins. The thin 1.6mm spine keeps it light and responsive.
