Petty Knife // Black Damascus

The Petty Black Damascus is ideal for all those in need of a small, narrow utility knife. This mid-sized blade can be used on a cutting board as well as for the in-hand use. Petty knives are basically smaller versions of Gyuto knives (Chef's knife), intended for all those smaller tasks where larger knives are deemed unwieldy. A must-have knife in every kitchen, it can be used for peeling, paring and decorating food.

Petty Black Damascus is forged by Japanese knifemaker Suncraft in the famous knife city Seki in Gifu prefecture. The heart of the knife is the most popular and widely-used steel Japanese knives are made of—  VG-10 steel. A 33-layer Damascus cladding means every piece has a unique pattern on the blade, making every knife one-of-a-kind.

The handle follows the same logic as the blade— universal and easy to maintain. A beautiful, dark brown, octagonal-shaped pakka wood handle sits well in your hands regardless if you are left- or right-handed. Pakka wood is a mixture of laminated wood and epoxy resin which is highly durable and will not get stained easily.
