The Kohetsu line of knives is produced exclusively for Chef Knives To Go. This 130mm petty is built using clad construction with an SLD tool steel core. SLD is well regarded for its ability to take a very sharp edge while also providing excellent edge retention. Hardened to 61–62 HRC, this knife strikes an excellent balance between taking acute bevel angles for sharpness and maintaining the toughness needed for everyday kitchen work.
The stainless cladding combined with the semi-stainless nature of SLD makes upkeep easy while still offering the satisfying sharpening feel of a high carbon tool steel. The blade also features a distinctive lattice-pattern texture with a polished finish that gives the knife a unique visual character. Paired with a comfortable octagonal walnut handle and black pakka wood ferrule, this petty is a versatile small knife ideal for trimming, peeling, and detail work on the cutting board.
Care Instructions: Although SLD is highly stain resistant, we recommend hand washing and drying the knife after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or leave soaking in water. Use a quality cutting board such as wood or rubber and avoid cutting hard materials like bones or frozen foods.

Wanted a petty to slot in between my 90mm paring and my longer 160+ mm nakiri, gyoto, bunka.Haven't been disappointed. The usual Kohetsu F and F, plus SLD - an eye-opener for me who had not regarded stainless steels as worthy cutters. Retains a good edge and is a nice size for smaller stuff like garlic, scallions. Hammered feature on blade sheds well on grippy veggies like potatoes, but has a tougher time on hard fruit (apples) because of its hefty blade thickness. I have other knives for that, however. A great addition to my knife inventory!

I'm a big fan of the Kohetsu SLD line of knives. They take on an excellent, durable edge, once sharpened, and are very, very stain resistant.I'll admit, I bought the SLD knives for my family to use, and to keep them from damaging my more expensive carbon/reactive knives! But, I sure don't mind using them myself, because they're all a pleasure to use! In addition to this 130mm SLD Petty, I also own the 210mm SLD Gyuto, and the 170mm SLD Santoku.
