Brand new, direct from Mcusta.

From the French petit meaning “small,” the Japanese Petty takes the role of the Western paring knife or the larger utility knife. This blade is ideal for peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables, making garnishes, and other detailed food-preparation tasks. This smaller version is more akin to the classic paring knife with a slightly more robust blade.

Blade: The fully flat ground blade is San Mai Damascus stainless steel with VG10 core for style and performance. The outer layers protect and support the hardened steel center layer that forms the blade’s edge. The thin, 90 mm Petty blade makes an excellent slicer and covers a variety of tasks handled by utility and paring knives.

Handle: The modified European style handle has a hidden tang construction for clean aesthetics with a durable black Pakkawood framed by red liners and attached with two stainless pins and a single mosaic pin. A stainless steel butt cap and bolster round out construction for a lightweight and well-balanced handle.

San Mai Damascus: Three layer sandwich construction consists of a VG10 core, a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel popular in Japanese kitchen knives, and outer cladding of 33 layer nickel Damascus for unique visual appeal along with enhanced toughness and corrosion resistance.
