Anryu Blue #2 Hammered Petty 150mm

Among the various sizes in the Anryu Hammered lineup, this 150mm petty has become a genuine go-to for many owners, light enough for detail work yet long enough to handle real prep and even light meat trimming and boning.

The blade is built from Hitachi Blue Paper #2 carbon steel with a stainless steel cladding, adding strength to the core while protecting it from corrosion, and finished with the deep hammered texture the line is known for. The exposed carbon edge will discolor with normal use and can rust if left wet or dirty, so keeping it dry and clean is the simplest way to keep it performing well. The handle is an oval rosewood with a black pakka wood ferrule.

Please note that due to the thickness of the spine on this knife, CKTG does not carry a saya that fits it. A felt blade guard is recommended instead for safe storage.

What Customers Are Saying: Owners consistently describe this petty as light, well-balanced, and impressively sharp for an out-of-the-box edge, with several calling out the fit and finish as exceptional for the price. More than one buyer mentions it as a repeat purchase after owning a previous version with a different handle. One reviewer did receive a knife with a couple of small nicks already in the blade and had to resharpen it before first use, a frustrating but isolated experience compared to the otherwise consistent praise this petty receives.

Care Instructions: Because the edge is reactive carbon steel, wipe and dry the blade immediately after each use rather than letting it sit wet or dirty. Avoid leaving acidic foods against the blade for long stretches, and apply a light coat of camellia oil if the knife will go unused for a while. Hand wash only.
