About this item

  • Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a Vg-10 Core, the Vg-10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
  • Sometimes called a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chefs knife but is bigger than a Paring knife. The Petty fits in small places that require more dexterity than bigger chefs knives while handling bigger jobs than a Paring knife can take care of. The Petty will soon become the go to knife in your kitchen.
  • The difference will be felt right away when a hand-forged Japanese Petty knife of incomparable sharpness is used for smaller precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing small fruits and vegetables to handling bigger tasks as a small chefs knife. A razor sharp Petty knife can intricately carve and style vegetables and fruits for beautiful presentations and garnishes, performing just as well for bigger jobs such as preparing meals.
  • Proudly made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.
  • Perfect for both commercial kitchens or at home! Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Series

The Blade

VG-10 Steel Core

VG-10 is a Japanese stainless steel that is often utilized in high end Japanese cutlery. It has a hardness, or a HRC level, that exceeds that of most other stainless steel cutlery on the market. Its exceptional hardness means that the cutting edge can be constructed thinner, and therefore sharper, allowing the blade to seamlessly cut through almost any ingredient placed in front of it.

Hammer clad Damascus steel

The hard VG-10 steel is clad in a softer Damascus steel in order to give the blade an added toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.

Care & Sharpening

Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

Was pleasantly surprised by this petty knife. Well made and balanced. Included saya and backing by a US company is a real plus. Knife needed a little edge polishing as the edge grabbed a bit as it cut, right out of the box. There was an included catalog however many descriptions are unreadable as they are superimposed over back ground images that make them unreadable, at least to me.Overall a good value and I’m excited to put this knife thru it’s paces as the cooking frenzy picks up as new year approaches. I think a pro user and homemaker alike could equally enjoy this knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Japanese utility/petty knife!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021
The knife is lightweight, beautiful and sharp.
We are cooking enthusiasts, so we have a large variety of traditional knives from different countries and companies. This knife has Japanese specialities.
It sharpened only from one side, on the right side and it is an interesting feature.
The handle is made from 2 pieces of wood, the manufacture claims that it is redwood, but I cast doubt.
