The Kanehide PS60 petty is built for small, detailed cutting work, and this 150mm version carries less blade height than other knives of similar length, which is a tradeoff some larger handed cooks may notice but most others will appreciate for how light and nimble it keeps the blade.
PS60 is a semi stainless alloy related to AEB-L and 13C26, originally developed for razor blades, hardened by Kanehide to about 60 to 61 HRC through special heat treating and a cryogenic treatment in liquid nitrogen at negative 180 degrees Celsius. The petty is mono steel with an asymmetric 70/30 edge, mated to a western mahogany handle and a stainless bolster with a smooth, comfortable feel.
What Customers Are Saying:Reviewers consistently describe this petty as razor sharp out of the box, with several line cooks naming it their main knife for fast paced prep work and fine detail cuts. One reviewer with extra large hands uses it almost like a paring knife, citing the modest blade height as exactly enough to clear a knuckle, and reports it has stayed sharp through weeks of daily use. The fit, finish, and balance draw consistent praise across nearly every review, with buyers calling it a great value smaller knife for the price.
Care Instructions:PS60 is a fully stainless, cryogenically treated steel, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and sharpen on quality water stones or strop regularly to keep the edge at its best.

Kanehide Petty Food RazorPosted By: BigJimSlim

Fast Shipping! I have XXL hands so I use it like a paring knife with just enough blade height to clear my index finger first digit fold. I plan to buy another, its so good. It has so far stripped sharp with a couple weeks of daily use. It is a razor blade and cuts very well. i shaved my arm, leg, and part of my beard with it just to test the push cut abilities of the steel. It may be pricy, but so are the other well made, high quality things in life.

What a terrific knife! Not as costly as some others on the site, but it's well made, nimble and a definite go-to smaller knife. Average size hands, average to less than average knife skills, but it sure raises my game and feels great to use.

The fit and finish is excellent on this knife especially for the reasonable price. It came out of the box extremely sharp and has a nice balance for a small knife. This will be a great knife for working a fast paced line.
