Ginsan stainless steel is the foundation of this petty, prized for taking a genuinely fine edge while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain - excellent edge stability and corrosion resistance without ever feeling brittle. The nashiji finish, which translates to pear skin, gives the cladding a soft, textured look that pairs beautifully with the warm sakura cherry wood handle.
At 155mm this petty handles light board work and detail tasks with real precision - trimming, peeling, segmenting citrus, and mincing small ingredients. The even 50/50 grind delivers a neutral, predictable cutting feel for both right- and left-handed users. Every knife in this line is hand engraved by our friend Akane-san, who also created the elegant calligraphy on the Yahiko box - a personal touch that turns a simple tool into something a little more special.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry promptly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or leave the knife wet on the board. Store carefully to protect the edge and the engraved details.
